This is a user guide (v1.0) for installing the Ambrosinus Toolkit (ATk), a Grasshopper plugin developed by Luciano Ambrosini that integrates AI and Stable Diffusion capabilities into architectural design workflows. The document covers detailed installation requirements and setup instructions for both the machine-side (Python, Git, Stable Diffusion) and Grasshopper-side components.

Key aspects covered include:

The toolkit's version 1.3.0 requirements and compatibility with Rhino v7 and v8
Step-by-step installation of Python dependencies and Stable Diffusion (A1111 project)
ControlNet module setup and checkpoint model installation
Instructions for installing necessary trained databases and models
Grasshopper plugin installation and additional component requirements

The document positions ATk as the first integration of Large Text Generative Models (LTGMs) into Grasshopper, developed as an open project to democratize AI access for architects and designers. It's described as a work in progress, regularly updated to maintain compatibility with Stable Diffusion updates.
