|
|

|
# System Requirements
|
|
1. Windows 10/11, or Linux. Experimental support for Mac is coming soon.
|
|
2. An NVIDIA graphics card, preferably with 6GB or more of VRAM. But if you don't have a compatible graphics card, you can still use it with a "Use CPU" setting. It'll be very slow, but it should still work.
|
|
|
|
You do not need anything else. You do not need WSL, Docker or Conda. The installer will take care of it.
|
|
|
|
# Installation
|
|
1. Download [for Windows](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1MY5gzsQHV_KREbYs3gw33QL4gGIlQRqj/view?usp=sharing) or [for Linux](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Gwz1LVQUCart8HhCjrmXkS6TWKbTsLsR/view?usp=sharing) (this will be hosted on GitHub in the future).
|
|
|
|
2. Extract:
|
|
- For Windows: After unzipping the file, please move the `stable-diffusion-ui` folder to your `C:` (or any drive like D: at the top root level). For e.g. `C:\stable-diffusion-ui`. This will avoid a common problem with Windows (of file path length limits).
|
|
- For Linux: After extracting the .tar.xz file, please open a terminal, and go to the `stable-diffusion-ui` directory.
|
|
|
|
3. Run:
|
|
- For Windows: `Start Stable Diffusion UI.cmd` by double-clicking it.
|
|
- For Linux: In the terminal, run `./start.sh` (or `bash start.sh`)
|
|
|
|
This will automatically install Stable Diffusion, set it up, and start the interface. No additional steps are needed.
|
|
|
|
|
|
# Usage
|
|
Open http://localhost:9000 in your browser (after running step 3 previously).
|
|
|
|
## With a text description
|
|
1. Enter a text prompt, like `a photograph of an astronaut riding a horse` in the textbox.
|
|
2. Press `Make Image`. This will take some time, depending on your system's processing power.
|
|
3. See the image generated using your prompt.
|
|
|
|
## With an image
|
|
1. Click `Browse..` next to `Initial Image`. Select your desired image.
|
|
2. An optional text prompt can help you further describe the kind of image you want to generate.
|
|
3. Press `Make Image`. See the image generated using your prompt.
|
|
|
|
**Pro tip:** You can also click `Use as Input` on a generated image, to use it as the input image for your next generation. This can be useful for sequentially refining the generated image with a single click.
|
|
|
|
**Another tip:** Images with the same aspect ratio of your generated image work best. E.g. 1:1 if you're generating images sized 512x512.

## Problems?
|
|
Please ask on the new [discord server](https://discord.com/invite/u9yhsFmEkB), or [file an issue](https://github.com/cmdr2/stable-diffusion-ui/issues) if this did not work for you (after trying the common [troubleshooting](#troubleshooting) steps)!
|
|
|
|
# Advanced Settings
|
|
You can also set the configuration like `seed`, `width`, `height`, `num_outputs`, `num_inference_steps` and `guidance_scale` using the 'show' button next to 'Advanced settings'.
|
|
|
|
Use the same `seed` number to get the same image for a certain prompt. This is useful for refining a prompt without losing the basic image design. Enable the `random images` checkbox to get random images.

# Troubleshooting
|
|
The [Troubleshooting wiki page](https://github.com/cmdr2/stable-diffusion-ui/wiki/Troubleshooting) contains some common errors and their solutions. Please check that, and if it doesn't work, feel free to ask on the [discord server](https://discord.com/invite/u9yhsFmEkB) or [file an issue](https://github.com/cmdr2/stable-diffusion-ui/issues).

# What is this? Why no Docker?
|
|
This version is a 1-click installer. You don't need WSL or Docker or anything beyond a working NVIDIA GPU with an updated driver. You don't need to use the command-line at all. Even if you don't have a compatible GPU, you can run it on your CPU (albeit very slowly).
|
|
|
|
It'll download the necessary files from the original [Stable Diffusion](https://github.com/CompVis/stable-diffusion) git repository, and set it up. It'll then start the browser-based interface like before.
|
|
|
|
The NSFW option is currently off (temporarily), so it'll allow NSFW images, for those people who are unable to run their prompts without hitting the NSFW filter incorrectly.
