noob question - how hard is it to setup and run this on a windows machine? I've had bad luck with python and package management in windows in the past but that was a long time ago.
(you still need a Nvidia GPU)
Extract the zip file and run the batch file. Find the cptk (checkpoint) file for a model you want. You can find openjourney here: https://huggingface.co/openjourney/openjourney/tree/main. Add it to the model directory.
Then you just need to go to a web browser and you can use the AUTOMATIC1111 webui. More information here: https://github.com/AUTOMATIC1111/stable-diffusion-webui
I just use https://softology.pro/tutorials/tensorflow/tensorflow.htm
- A few manual steps but mainly a well tested installed that does it all for you.
