Preface

This article will share aboutStable DiffusionInstallation and deployment method. If you have not successfully usedSD, but don’t know how to install it, this article will help you.

Two types of installation and deployment methods: local deployment vs cloud deployment

In terms of major categories, there are two methods: local deployment and cloud deployment.

Local deployment, as the name suggests, means installing the program on your own computer. This method has relatively high requirements on computer hardware, especially graphics cards.

Cloud deployment involves leasing cloud computing power from a third party. With this method, there are no restrictions on equipment, but some leasing fees will also be incurred.

We can choose the installation method that suits us according to the actual situation.

Local deployment, computer configuration requirements:What are the computer configuration requirements for Stable Diffusion? Can Mac be used for it?》

Personal advice

If your device has good performance, you can choose local deployment. If your computer system is Windows, then congratulations, installing SD is very friendly to Windows users. You can install it with one click and use it directly after unzipping.The installation package address is at the end of the article.

If you are a Mac user like me, I sincerely suggest that you give up local deployment and use cloud deployment directly. The reason is that the steps for installing webUI on Mac are cumbersome and often report errors. After I deployed webUI locally, the user experience was not good. At the same time, the device heats up very seriously. My computer is relatively new (MacBook Pro 2023-M2 Max), but I still feel that the device is very struggling.

Online Platform

There is also a simpler way, which is to use the online platform directly. This way, you can skip the installation and deployment steps and use it directly out of the box. Currently, LibLibAI is doing well on the market. As of now (June 2024), there is a free quota every day. Friends who have not experienced SD can experience the feeling of using SD online for free.

Next Issue

No matter what method we use, we will eventually come to such an interface. If you are a beginner, you may find this interface visually unfriendly, with densely packed parameter settings. In fact, don't worry, if you understand the general interface modules, you will find that SD is not difficult to use.

Open the network disk and download these two files. After downloading, start the running dependency first, and then decompress sd-webui.

Summarize

Compared to Midjourney, SD is more complicated to use, but more controllable. If you need to have a high degree of control over the image, it is recommended to learn SD. In the future, I will continue to share SD-related teaching content in addition to Midjourney. Welcome to follow.
