How To Install And Use

Download pixArt_installer_v2.zip and extract into any folder where you want to install

It will generate a new venv so it will not affect your other apps such as Automatic1111 SD Web UI

Run install.bat on Windows and after that use 1024_16bit. bat or other bat files

The running will download models into the Hugging Face cache folder
