# Installation and Updating Overview
Before installing, review the [installation requirements](./requirements.md) to ensure your system is set up properly.
See the [FAQ](../faq.md) for frequently-encountered installation issues.
If you need more help, join our [discord](https://discord.gg/ZmtBAhwWhy) or [create a GitHub issue](https://github.com/invoke-ai/InvokeAI/issues).
## Automated Installer & Updates
✅ The automated [installer](./installer.md) is the best way to install Invoke.
⬆️ The same installer is also the best way to update Invoke - simply rerun it for the same folder you installed to.
The installation process simply manages installation for the core libraries & application dependencies that run Invoke.
Models, images, or other assets in the Invoke root folder won't be affected by the installation process.
## Manual Install
If you are familiar with python and want more control over the packages that are installed, you can [install Invoke manually via PyPI](./manual.md).
Updates are managed by reinstalling the latest version through PyPi.
## Developer Install
If you want to contribute to InvokeAI, you'll need to set up a [dev environment](../contributing/dev-environment.md).
## Docker
Invoke publishes docker images. See the [docker installation guide](./docker.md) for details.
