Introduction

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

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.

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.

  1. You will need to install Anaconda3 and Git if they are not already available. Use your operating system's preferred installer, or download installers from the following URLs

  2. Copy the InvokeAI source code from GitHub using git:

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

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

  3. Enter the newly-created InvokeAI folder. From this step forward make sure that you are working in the InvokeAI directory!

    cd InvokeAI
    
  4. 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:

    environment-lin-amd.yml     # Linux with an AMD (ROCm) GPU
    environment-lin-cuda.yml    # Linux with an NVIDIA CUDA GPU
    environment-mac.yml         # Macintoshes with MPS acceleration
    environment-win-cuda.yml    # Windows with an NVIDA CUDA GPU
    

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

    !!! todo "Macintosh and Linux"

    ln -sf environments-and-requirements/environment-xxx-yyy.yml environment.yml
    

    Replace xxx and yyy with the appropriate OS and GPU codes.

    !!! todo "Windows requires admin privileges to make links, so we use the copy (cp) command"

    cp environments-and-requirements\environment-win-cuda.yml environment.yml 
    

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

  5. Run conda:

    conda env update
    

    This will create a new environment named invokeai and install all InvokeAI dependencies into it.

    If something goes wrong at this point, see troubleshooting.

  6. Activate the invokeai environment:

    conda activate invokeai
    

    Your command-line prompt should change to indicate that invokeai is active.

  7. Load the model weights files:

    python scripts/preload_models.py
    

    (Windows users should use the backslash instead of the slash)

    The script preload_models.py will interactively guide you through 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 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 [INSTALLING_MODELS.md].

    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.

  8. Run the command-line interface or the web interface:

    python scripts/invoke.py         # command line
    python scripts/invoke.py --web   # web interface
    

    (Windows users replace backslash with forward slash)

    If you choose the run the web interface, point your browser at http://localhost:9090 in order to load the GUI.

  9. Render away!

    Browse the features listed in the Stable Diffusion Toolkit Docs 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.

  10. 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.

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/preload_models.py --no-interactive  #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 --no-interactive flag will prevent the script from prompting you to download the big Stable Diffusion weights files.

pip Install

To install InvokeAI with only the PIP package manager, please follow these steps:

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

    python -V
    
  2. Install the virtualenv tool if you don't have it already:

    pip install virtualenv
    
  3. From within the InvokeAI top-level directory, create and activate a virtual environment named invokeai:

    virtualenv invokeai
    source invokeai/bin/activate
    
  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:

    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 environment.txt in the top-level InvokeAI directory. The command to do this from the top-level directory is:

    !!! todo "Macintosh and Linux"

    ```bash
    ln -sf environments-and-requirements/requirements-xxx-yyy.txt requirements.txt
    ```
    

    Replace xxx and yyy with the appropriate OS and GPU codes.

    !!! todo "Windows requires admin privileges to make links, so we use the copy (cp) command instead"

    ```bash
    cp environments-and-requirements\requirements-lin-win-colab-cuda.txt requirements.txt
    ```
    

    Note that the order of arguments is reversed between the Linux/Mac and Windows commands!

    Please do not link directly to the file environments-and-requirements/requirements.txt. This is a base requirements file that does not have the platform-specific libraries.

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

  5. Run PIP

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

    pip install --prefer-binary -r requirements.txt
    

Troubleshooting

Here are some common issues and their suggested solutions.

Conda install

  1. 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.

  2. preload_models.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).

  3. 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

  4. 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)

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

    (pip)

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

    !!! todo "For AMD systems"

    (conda)

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

    (pip)

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