Install Stable Diffusion with Easy Diffusion

Installation

System Requirements
  1. Windows 10/11, Linux or Mac.
  2. An NVIDIA graphics card, preferably with 4GB or more of VRAM or an M1 or M2 Mac. 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.
  3. 8GB of RAM and 20GB of disk space.

You do not need anything else. You do not need WSL, Docker or Conda. The installer will take care of it.

  1. Download for Windows
  2. Run the downloaded Easy-Diffusion-Windows.exe file.

The software updates itself every time you start it. By default, it will update to the latest stable version. If you want to test out new features, you can switch to the beta chanel in the system settings: screenshot of the system settings showing the beta channel checkbox
