# Installing ControlNet

To use the ControlNet feature there's some initial requirements.

### Installing ControlNet

First, open this website and download the ControlNet models (About 10GB for the set). 

You don't need them all, but ControlNet will not work without them.\
So you'll probably want to download them all, seeing as how they will do different things.

After downloading the ControlNet models, Make a sub-folder in the model weights folder that has the exact name "ControlNet" if it doesn't already exist.

Move all of the ControlNet models into this folder.
