Getting Started

This guide assumes you already know how to download/clone repositories from GitHub.

Choosing a Fork

The original BasicSR fork by Xinntao still works fine for training. However, it lacks a lot of features and bug fixes that forks made by various community members have. Also, if you get the latest Xinntao fork you will be training a new-arch model instead of an old-arch model. This means you will not be able to train in scales other than 4.

If you are reading this guide as a refresher and currently use Victorca25's fork, please consider switching to BlueAmulets fork. It fixes many of the bugs present in Vic's fork (which is no longer being maintained) and has all the same features (and more). If this is your first time reading this guide, I still highly recommend BlueAmulet's fork. However, DinJerr's fork is also a good alternative.

You can see a current list of currently maintained forks here.
