How to install it (one-click method)

Open the GitHub repository

The button above takes you to AUTOMATIC1111's actual repo — the source everyone else's guide points back to.
Download sd.webui.zip and extract it

Grab the packaged release from the repo's releases page, then unzip it anywhere on your drive.
Run update.bat, then run.bat

update.bat pulls the latest webui version; run.bat launches it and downloads the default model on first start.
Open the local URL

Once you see "Running on local URL: http://127.0.0.1:7860", open that address in your browser to start generating.

Disk	At least 10 GB free (more per extra model)

Good to know: This is an independent overview, not affiliated with AUTOMATIC1111 or Stability AI. The button above links out to the real GitHub repository — this page never hosts or serves the installer itself, which is the safest way to get it. AMD GPUs and CPU-only setups are possible but slower and need extra configuration not covered here.
