Relax Huggingface login requirement during setup (#2046)
* (config) handle huggingface token more gracefully

* (docs) document HuggingFace token requirement for Concepts

* (cli) deprecate the --(no)-interactive CLI flag

It was previously only used to skip the SD weights download, and therefore
the prompt for Huggingface token (the "interactive" part).

Now that we don't need a Huggingface token
to download the SD weights at all, we can replace this flag with
"--skip-sd-weights", to clearly describe its purpose

The `--(no)-interactive` flag still functions the same, but shows a deprecation message

* (cli) fix emergency_model_reconfigure argument parsing

* (config) fix installation issues on systems with non-UTF8 locale

Installing Manually
# :fontawesome-brands-linux: Linux | :fontawesome-brands-apple: macOS | :fontawesome-brands-windows: Windows

!!! warning "This is for advanced Users"

who are already experienced with using conda or pip

Introduction

You have two choices for manual installation, the first one uses basic Python virtual environment (venv) commands and the PIP package manager. The second one based on the Anaconda3 package manager (conda). Both methods require you to enter commands on the terminal, also known as the "console".

Note that the conda install method is currently deprecated and will not be supported at some point in the future.

On Windows systems you are encouraged to install and use the Powershell, which provides compatibility with Linux and Mac shells and nice features such as command-line completion.

pip Install

To install InvokeAI with virtual environments and the PIP package manager, please follow these steps:

  1. Make sure you are using Python 3.9 or 3.10. The rest of the install procedure depends on this:

    python -V
    
  2. From within the InvokeAI top-level directory, create and activate a virtual environment named invokeai:

    python -mvenv invokeai
    source invokeai/bin/activate
    
  3. Make sure that pip is installed in your virtual environment an up to date:

    python -mensurepip --upgrade
    python -mpip install --upgrade pip
    
  4. Pick the correct requirements*.txt file for your hardware and operating system.

    We have created a series of environment files suited for different operating systems and GPU hardware. They are located in the environments-and-requirements directory:

    filename OS
    requirements-lin-amd.txt Linux with an AMD (ROCm) GPU
    requirements-lin-arm64.txt Linux running on arm64 systems
    requirements-lin-cuda.txt Linux with an NVIDIA (CUDA) GPU
    requirements-mac-mps-cpu.txt Macintoshes with MPS acceleration
    requirements-lin-win-colab-cuda.txt Windows with an NVIDA (CUDA) GPU
    (supports Google Colab too)

    Select the appropriate requirements file, and make a link to it from requirements.txt in the top-level InvokeAI directory. The command to do this from the top-level directory is:

    !!! example ""

    === "Macintosh and Linux"
    
        !!! info "Replace `xxx` and `yyy` with the appropriate OS and GPU codes."
    
        ```bash
        ln -sf environments-and-requirements/requirements-xxx-yyy.txt requirements.txt
        ```
    
    === "Windows"
    
        !!! info "on Windows, admin privileges are required to make links, so we use the copy command instead"
    
        ```cmd
        copy environments-and-requirements\requirements-lin-win-colab-cuda.txt requirements.txt
        ```
    
    !!! warning
    
        Please do not link or copy `environments-and-requirements/requirements-base.txt`.
        This is a base requirements file that does not have the platform-specific
        libraries. Also, be sure to link or copy the platform-specific file to
    a top-level file named `requirements.txt` as shown here. Running pip on
    a requirements file in a subdirectory will not work as expected.
    

    When this is done, confirm that a file named requirements.txt has been created in the InvokeAI root directory and that it points to the correct file in environments-and-requirements.

  5. Run PIP

    Be sure that the invokeai environment is active before doing this:

    pip install --prefer-binary -r requirements.txt
    
  6. Set up the runtime directory

    In this step you will initialize a runtime directory that will contain the models, model config files, directory for textual inversion embeddings, and your outputs. This keeps the runtime directory separate from the source code and aids in updating.

    You may pick any location for this directory using the --root_dir option (abbreviated --root). If you don't pass this option, it will default to invokeai in your home directory.

    configure_invokeai.py --root_dir ~/Programs/invokeai
    

    The script configure_invokeai.py will interactively guide you through the process of downloading and installing the weights files needed for InvokeAI. Note that the main Stable Diffusion weights file is protected by a license agreement that you have to agree to. The script will list the steps you need to take to create an account on the site that hosts the weights files, accept the agreement, and provide an access token that allows InvokeAI to legally download and install the weights files.

    If you get an error message about a module not being installed, check that the invokeai environment is active and if not, repeat step 5.

    Note that configure_invokeai.py and invoke.py should be installed under your virtual environment directory and the system should find them on the PATH. If this isn't working on your system, you can call the scripts directory using python scripts/configure_invoke.py and python scripts/invoke.py.

    !!! tip

    If you have already downloaded the weights file(s) for another Stable
    Diffusion distribution, you may skip this step (by selecting "skip" when
    prompted) and configure InvokeAI to use the previously-downloaded files. The
    process for this is described in [here](050_INSTALLING_MODELS.md).
    
  7. Run the command-line- or the web- interface:

    Activate the environment (with source invokeai/bin/activate), and then run the script invoke.py. If you selected a non-default location for the runtime directory, please specify the path with the --root_dir option (abbreviated below as --root):

    !!! example ""

    !!! warning "Make sure that the virtual environment is activated, which should create `(invokeai)` in front of your prompt!"
    
    === "CLI"
    
        ```bash
        invoke.py --root ~/Programs/invokeai
        ```
    
    === "local Webserver"
    
        ```bash
        invoke.py --web --root ~/Programs/invokeai
        ```
    
    === "Public Webserver"
    
        ```bash
        invoke.py --web --host 0.0.0.0 --root ~/Programs/invokeai
        ```
    
    If you choose the run the web interface, point your browser at
    http://localhost:9090 in order to load the GUI.
    

    !!! tip

    You can permanently set the location of the runtime directory by setting the environment variable INVOKEAI_ROOT to the path of the directory.
    
  8. Render away!

    Browse the features section to learn about all the things you can do with InvokeAI.

    Note that some GPUs are slow to warm up. In particular, when using an AMD card with the ROCm driver, you may have to wait for over a minute the first time you try to generate an image. Fortunately, after the warm up period rendering will be fast.

  9. Subsequently, to relaunch the script, be sure to run "conda activate invokeai", enter the InvokeAI directory, and then launch the invoke script. If you forget to activate the 'invokeai' environment, the script will fail with multiple ModuleNotFound errors.

    !!! tip

    Do not move the source code repository after installation. The virtual environment directory has absolute paths in it that get confused if the directory is moved.


Conda method

  1. Check that your system meets the hardware requirements and has the appropriate GPU drivers installed. In particular, if you are a Linux user with an AMD GPU installed, you may need to install the ROCm driver.

    InvokeAI does not yet support Windows machines with AMD GPUs due to the lack of ROCm driver support on this platform.

    To confirm that the appropriate drivers are installed, run nvidia-smi on NVIDIA/CUDA systems, and rocm-smi on AMD systems. These should return information about the installed video card.

    Macintosh users with MPS acceleration, or anybody with a CPU-only system, can skip this step.

  2. You will need to install Anaconda3 and Git if they are not already available. Use your operating system's preferred package manager, or download the installers manually. You can find them here:

  3. Clone the InvokeAI source code from GitHub:

    git clone https://github.com/invoke-ai/InvokeAI.git
    

    This will create InvokeAI folder where you will follow the rest of the steps.

  4. Enter the newly-created InvokeAI folder:

    cd InvokeAI
    

    From this step forward make sure that you are working in the InvokeAI directory!

  5. Select the appropriate environment file:

    We have created a series of environment files suited for different operating systems and GPU hardware. They are located in the environments-and-requirements directory:

    filename OS
    environment-lin-amd.yml Linux with an AMD (ROCm) GPU
    environment-lin-cuda.yml Linux with an NVIDIA CUDA GPU
    environment-mac.yml Macintosh
    environment-win-cuda.yml Windows with an NVIDA CUDA GPU

    Choose the appropriate environment file for your system and link or copy it to environment.yml in InvokeAI's top-level directory. To do so, run following command from the repository-root:

    !!! Example ""

    === "Macintosh and Linux"
    
        !!! todo "Replace `xxx` and `yyy` with the appropriate OS and GPU codes as seen in the table above"
    
        ```bash
        ln -sf environments-and-requirements/environment-xxx-yyy.yml environment.yml
        ```
    
        When this is done, confirm that a file `environment.yml` has been linked in
        the InvokeAI root directory and that it points to the correct file in the
        `environments-and-requirements`.
    
        ```bash
        ls -la
        ```
    
    === "Windows"
    
        !!! todo " Since it requires admin privileges to create links, we will use the copy command to create your `environment.yml`"
    
        ```cmd
        copy environments-and-requirements\environment-win-cuda.yml environment.yml
        ```
    
        Afterwards verify that the file `environment.yml` has been created, either via the
        explorer or by using the command `dir` from the terminal
    
        ```cmd
        dir
        ```
    

    !!! warning "Do not try to run conda on directly on the subdirectory environments file. This won't work. Instead, copy or link it to the top-level directory as shown."

  6. Create the conda environment:

    conda env update
    

    This will create a new environment named invokeai and install all InvokeAI dependencies into it. If something goes wrong you should take a look at troubleshooting.

  7. Activate the invokeai environment:

    In order to use the newly created environment you will first need to activate it

    conda activate invokeai
    

    Your command-line prompt should change to indicate that invokeai is active by prepending (invokeai).

  8. Set up the runtime directory

    In this step you will initialize a runtime directory that will contain the models, model config files, directory for textual inversion embeddings, and your outputs. This keeps the runtime directory separate from the source code and aids in updating.

    You may pick any location for this directory using the --root_dir option (abbreviated --root). If you don't pass this option, it will default to invokeai in your home directory.

    python scripts/configure_invokeai.py --root_dir ~/Programs/invokeai
    

    The script configure_invokeai.py will interactively guide you through the process of downloading and installing the weights files needed for InvokeAI. Note that the main Stable Diffusion weights file is protected by a license agreement that you have to agree to. The script will list the steps you need to take to create an account on the site that hosts the weights files, accept the agreement, and provide an access token that allows InvokeAI to legally download and install the weights files.

    If you get an error message about a module not being installed, check that the invokeai environment is active and if not, repeat step 5.

    Note that configure_invokeai.py and invoke.py should be installed under your conda directory and the system should find them automatically on the PATH. If this isn't working on your system, you can call the scripts directory using python scripts/configure_invoke.py and python scripts/invoke.py.

    !!! tip

    If you have already downloaded the weights file(s) for another Stable
    Diffusion distribution, you may skip this step (by selecting "skip" when
    prompted) and configure InvokeAI to use the previously-downloaded files. The
    process for this is described in [here](050_INSTALLING_MODELS.md).
    
  9. Run the command-line- or the web- interface:

    Activate the environment (with source invokeai/bin/activate), and then run the script invoke.py. If you selected a non-default location for the runtime directory, please specify the path with the --root_dir option (abbreviated below as --root):

    !!! example ""

    !!! warning "Make sure that the conda environment is activated, which should create `(invokeai)` in front of your prompt!"
    
    === "CLI"
    
        ```bash
        invoke.py --root ~/Programs/invokeai
        ```
    
    === "local Webserver"
    
        ```bash
        invoke.py --web --root ~/Programs/invokeai
        ```
    
    === "Public Webserver"
    
        ```bash
        invoke.py --web --host 0.0.0.0 --root ~/Programs/invokeai
        ```
    
    If you choose the run the web interface, point your browser at
    http://localhost:9090 in order to load the GUI.
    

    !!! tip

    You can permanently set the location of the runtime directory by setting the environment variable INVOKEAI_ROOT to the path of your choice.
    
  10. Render away!

    Browse the features section to learn about all the things you can do with InvokeAI.

    Note that some GPUs are slow to warm up. In particular, when using an AMD card with the ROCm driver, you may have to wait for over a minute the first time you try to generate an image. Fortunately, after the warm up period rendering will be fast.

  11. Subsequently, to relaunch the script, be sure to run "conda activate invokeai", enter the InvokeAI directory, and then launch the invoke script. If you forget to activate the 'invokeai' environment, the script will fail with multiple ModuleNotFound errors.

Creating an "install" version of InvokeAI

If you wish you can install InvokeAI and all its dependencies in the runtime directory. This allows you to delete the source code repository and eliminates the need to provide --root_dir at startup time. Note that this method only works with the PIP method.

  1. Follow the instructions for the PIP install, but in step #2 put the virtual environment into the runtime directory. For example, assuming the runtime directory lives in ~/Programs/invokeai, you'd run:

    python -menv ~/Programs/invokeai
    
  2. Now follow steps 3 to 5 in the PIP recipe, ending with the pip install step.

  3. Run one additional step while you are in the source code repository directory pip install . (note the dot at the end).

  4. That's all! Now, whenever you activate the virtual environment, invoke.py will know where to look for the runtime directory without needing a --root_dir argument. In addition, you can now move or delete the source code repository entirely.

    (Don't move the runtime directory!)

Updating to newer versions of the script

This distribution is changing rapidly. If you used the git clone method (step 5) to download the InvokeAI directory, then to update to the latest and greatest version, launch the Anaconda window, enter InvokeAI and type:

git pull
conda env update
python scripts/configure_invokeai.py --skip-sd-weights #optional

This will bring your local copy into sync with the remote one. The last step may be needed to take advantage of new features or released models. The --skip-sd-weights flag will prevent the script from prompting you to download the big Stable Diffusion weights files.

Troubleshooting

Here are some common issues and their suggested solutions.

Conda

Conda fails before completing conda update

The usual source of these errors is a package incompatibility. While we have tried to minimize these, over time packages get updated and sometimes introduce incompatibilities.

We suggest that you search Issues or the "bugs-and-support" channel of the InvokeAI Discord.

You may also try to install the broken packages manually using PIP. To do this, activate the invokeai environment, and run pip install with the name and version of the package that is causing the incompatibility. For example:

pip install test-tube==0.7.5

You can keep doing this until all requirements are satisfied and the invoke.py script runs without errors. Please report to Issues what you were able to do to work around the problem so that others can benefit from your investigation.

Create Conda Environment fails on MacOS

If conda create environment fails with lmdb error, this is most likely caused by Clang. Run brew config to see which Clang is installed on your Mac. If Clang isn't installed, that's causing the error. Start by installing additional XCode command line tools, followed by brew install llvm.

xcode-select --install
brew install llvm

If brew config has Clang installed, update to the latest llvm and try creating the environment again.

configure_invokeai.py or invoke.py crashes at an early stage

This is usually due to an incomplete or corrupted Conda install. Make sure you have linked to the correct environment file and run conda update again.

If the problem persists, a more extreme measure is to clear Conda's caches and remove the invokeai environment:

conda deactivate
conda env remove -n invokeai
conda clean -a
conda update

This removes all cached library files, including ones that may have been corrupted somehow. (This is not supposed to happen, but does anyway).

invoke.py crashes at a later stage

If the CLI or web site had been working ok, but something unexpected happens later on during the session, you've encountered a code bug that is probably unrelated to an install issue. Please search Issues, file a bug report, or ask for help on Discord

My renders are running very slowly

You may have installed the wrong torch (machine learning) package, and the system is running on CPU rather than the GPU. To check, look at the log messages that appear when invoke.py is first starting up. One of the earlier lines should say Using device type cuda. On AMD systems, it will also say "cuda", and on Macintoshes, it should say "mps". If instead the message says it is running on "cpu", then you may need to install the correct torch library.

You may be able to fix this by installing a different torch library. Here are the magic incantations for Conda and PIP.

!!! todo "For CUDA systems"

- conda

  ```bash
  conda install pytorch torchvision torchaudio pytorch-cuda=11.6 -c pytorch -c nvidia
  ```

- pip

  ```bash
  pip3 install torch torchvision torchaudio --extra-index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu116
  ```

!!! todo "For AMD systems"

- conda

  ```bash
  conda activate invokeai
  pip3 install torch torchvision torchaudio --extra-index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/rocm5.2/
  ```

- pip

  ```bash
  pip3 install torch torchvision torchaudio --extra-index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/rocm5.2/
  ```
