How to run disco diffusion V5 on windows 10 with WSL

WSL-disco-v5-tutorial.md

Install Disco Diffusion v5 for Windows w/ subsystem for linux!

[NEW] no WSL needed Guide located here

NOTE: Pytorch3d no longer has to be compiled i have stripped out the function we use to make this a lot easier and also so we do not have to use WSL2 with linux and can now run directly on your windows system, i will leave this guide here for those that still want to explore working with linux wich i do still recommend.

Comments section is not checked often for issues please join the disco diffusion discord for assistance
