Have you seen a decent tutorial for setting up SD locally? I've been using it through huggingface, but that seems pretty limited.


You can find a number of different guides over at the stable diffusion subreddit, from CLI to GUIs in different flavors.

No, sorry, but there's a whole bunch of one-click things now, I think?

I'm running it on Windows 10 using (a modified version of) https://github.com/bfirsh/stable-diffusion.git and Anaconda to create the environment from their `environment.yaml` (all of which was done using the normal `cmd` shell). Then to use it, I activate that env from `cmd` and switch into cygwin `bash` to run the `txt2img.py` script (because it's easier to script, etc.)

[edit: probably helps that I already had a working VQGAN-CLIP setup which meant all the CUDA stuff was already there. For that I followed https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XH7ZP0__FXs which covered the CUDA installation for VQGAN-CLIP.]


There's a 1-click installation for installing Stable Diffusion locally (Windows/Linux), doesn't require anything pre-installed - https://github.com/cmdr2/stable-diffusion-ui#installation


Official repo is straightforward: https://github.com/CompVis/stable-diffusion

Have to admit just started looking into it, mb there are better options
