<p>Welcome to Invoke! Follow these steps to install, update, and get started creating.</p>
<h2 id="step-1-system-requirements">Step 1: System Requirements<a class="headerlink" href="#step-1-system-requirements" title="Permanent link">#</a></h2>
<p>Invoke runs on Windows 10+, macOS 14+ and Linux (Ubuntu 20.04+ is well-tested).</p>
<p>Hardware requirements vary significantly depending on model and image output size. The requirements below are rough guidelines.</p>
<ul>
<li>All Apple Silicon (M1, M2, etc) Macs work, but 16GB+ memory is recommended.</li>
<li>AMD GPUs are supported on Linux only. The VRAM requirements are the same as Nvidia GPUs.</li>
</ul>

<h2 id="step-3-install-invoke">Step 3: Install Invoke<a class="headerlink" href="#step-3-install-invoke" title="Permanent link">#</a></h2>
<p>Run the Launcher you just set up if you haven't already. Click <strong>Install</strong> and follow the instructions to install (or update) Invoke.</p>
<p>If you have an existing Invoke installation, you can select it and let the launcher manage the install. You'll be able to update or launch the installation.</p>
<div class="admonition tip">
<p class="admonition-title">Updating</p>
<p>The Launcher will check for updates for itself <em>and</em> Invoke.</p>
<ul>
<li>When the Launcher detects an update is available for itself, you'll get a small popup window. Click through this and the Launcher will update itself.</li>
<li>When the Launcher detects an update for Invoke, you'll see a small green alert in the Launcher. Click that and follow the instructions to update Invoke.</li>
</ul>
</div>
<h2 id="step-4-launch">Step 4: Launch<a class="headerlink" href="#step-4-launch" title="Permanent link">#</a></h2>
<p>Once installed, click <strong>Finish</strong>, then <strong>Launch</strong> to start Invoke.</p>
<p>The very first run after an installation or update will take a few extra moments to get ready.</p>
<div class="admonition tip">
<p class="admonition-title">Server Mode</p>
<p>The launcher runs Invoke as a desktop application. You can enable <strong>Server Mode</strong> in the launcher's settings to disable this and instead access the UI through your web browser.</p>
</div>
<h2 id="step-5-install-models">Step 5: Install Models<a class="headerlink" href="#step-5-install-models" title="Permanent link">#</a></h2>
<p>With Invoke started up, you'll need to install some models.</p>
<p>The quickest way to get started is to install a <strong>Starter Model</strong> bundle. If you already have a model collection, Invoke can use it.</p>
<div class="admonition info">
<p class="admonition-title">Install Models</p>

<li>Click <strong>Scan Folder</strong> on the right.</li>
<li>Paste the path to your models collection and click <strong>Scan Folder</strong>.</li>

<h2 id="step-6-learn-the-basics">Step 6: Learn the Basics<a class="headerlink" href="#step-6-learn-the-basics" title="Permanent link">#</a></h2>
<p>We recommend watching our <a href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLvWK1Kc8iXGrQy8r9TYg6QdUuJ5MMx-ZO">Getting Started Playlist</a>. It covers essential features and workflows, including:</p>
<ul>
<li>Generating your first image.</li>
<li>Using control layers and reference guides.</li>
<li>Refining images with advanced workflows.</li>
</ul>
<h2 id="troubleshooting">Troubleshooting<a class="headerlink" href="#troubleshooting" title="Permanent link">#</a></h2>
<p>If installation fails, retrying the install in Repair Mode may fix it. There's a checkbox to enable this on the Review step of the install flow.</p>
<p>If that doesn't fix it, <a href="https://docs.astral.sh/uv/reference/cli/#uv-cache-clean">clearing the <code>uv</code> cache</a> might do the trick:</p>
<ul>
<li>Open and start the dev console (button at the bottom-left of the launcher).</li>
<li>Run <code>uv cache clean</code>.</li>
<li>Retry the installation. Enable Repair Mode for good measure.</li>
</ul>
<p>If you are still unable to install, try installing to a different location and see if that works.</p>
<p>If you still have problems, ask for help on the Invoke <a href="https://discord.gg/ZmtBAhwWhy">discord</a>.</p>
<h2 id="other-installation-methods">Other Installation Methods<a class="headerlink" href="#other-installation-methods" title="Permanent link">#</a></h2>
<ul>
<li>You can install the Invoke application as a python package. See our <a href="../manual/">manual install</a> docs.</li>
<li>You can run Invoke with docker. See our <a href="../docker/">docker install</a> docs.</li>
