In this tutorial, I will show you how to install and run the latest Stable Diffusion models quickly with a FREE application called Stability Matrix. Available on Windows, Mac OS, and Linux. Stability Matrix is an opensource app that has all the best and most popular webUI packages under one roof. You can run A1111, Forge, Fooocus, and ComfyUI just to name a few. All packages are available for 1click installation; no more manual install of Git and Python. Stability Matrix is free to install, it is local and private, it is loaded with qualityoflife features, and it is simple and intuitive to use. Whether you are brand new to Stable Diffusion or a seasoned pro, there is something for you in Stability Matrix.
For me, some of the really nice qualityoflife features of Stability Matrix are: (1) it will automatically check for UI updates and you can do a 1click install for any UI package updates, (2) it will automatically check your Python dependencies for each UI package and update them as needed, (3) it embeds Git and Python dependencies such that they do not need to be globally installed for your UI packages to work, and therefore eliminating potential conflicts with other apps on your computer that might need to use a different version of Git or Python, (4) the Model / Checkpoint manager enables you to use your checkpoints, LoRAs, Textual Inversions, etc. across all UI packages thus saving you disk space and effort in trying to manage these files, and (5) the Model Browser allow you to import files directly from CivitAI and HuggingFace, and file them into the corresponding model folder depending on the model type.
