TL;DR

The easiest way to get started for most people is to pick one of the available GUIs based on the desired platform and follow it's installation instructions.

Alternatively, most of the more developed forks (such as InvokeAI) come with their own user interfaces.

To get up and running, one usually needs:

  • A GUI or CLI based installation on a supported platform (usually NVIDIA GPU but support for Apple Silicon, AMD GPUS and even CPU exists in some branches)
  • The weights (.ckpt files) for the model downloaded from Huggingface
  • Sufficent RAM/VRAM available on the system.

Official Resources

Actively Maintained Forks and Containers

All forks listed here add additional features and optimisations and are generally faster than the original release, as they keep the model in memory rather than reloading it after every prompt. Most forks seem to remove the Safety Classifier which may present a risk if used to provide public-facing services, such as Discord bots.

  • AbdBarho/stable-diffusion-webui-docker - Easy Docker setup for SD with multiple user-friendly UI options including AUTOMATIC1111/stable-diffusion-webui, sd-webui/stable-diffusion-webui and invoke-ai/InvokeAI.

  • AUTOMATIC1111/stable-diffusion-webui - Likely the fastest moving, most feature rich branch at the moment. Gradio based UI with extensive features such as in and outpainting, previews, xy plots, upscaling, clip-interrogation, textual inversion, negative prompting, a variety of upscaling features, training, checkpoint merging and switching capabilities and more. Comes with a handy install script that takes care of most dependencies and addons.

    • Addon: txt2Mask - Addon for mask based inpainting using natural language instead of brush tools.

    • txt2imghd - Fork of progrock diffusion that creates detailed, higher-resolution images by first generating an image from a prompt, upscaling it, then running img2img on smaller pieces of the upscaled image, and blending the results back into the original image.

Potentially Stale/Less active branches

These branches have not been updated in more than a months and are kept here for historic purposes

  • neonsecret/stable-diffusion - Fork focusing on bigger resolutions with less vram at the expense of speed, automatically adjusting to the GPUs abilities. Also includes upscaling, facial restoration via CodeFormer and custom UI

Checkpoints and Weights

Checkpoints (.ckpt files) must be separately downloaded and are required to run Stable Diffusion. The latest stability ai release is 2.0. The last model containing NSFW concepts was 1.5 released by RunwayML
