| InvokeAI Installer |
The InvokeAI installer is a shell script that will install InvokeAI onto a stock computer running recent versions of Linux, MacOSX or Windows. It will leave you with a version that runs a stable version of InvokeAI. When a new version of InvokeAI is released, you will download and reinstall the new version.
If you wish to tinker with unreleased versions of InvokeAI that introduce potentially unstable new features, you should consider using the source installer or one of the manual install methods.

Before you begin, make sure that you meet
the[hardware requirements](/#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](https://rocmdocs.amd.com/en/latest/Installation_Guide/Installation-Guide.html).
Installation requires roughly 18G of free disk space to load the libraries and recommended model weights files.
