To load a pipeline locally, use [git-lfs](https://git-lfs.github.com/) to manually download a checkpoint to your local disk.  
```bash
git-lfs install
git clone https://huggingface.co/stable-diffusion-v1-5/stable-diffusion-v1-5
```  
This creates a local folder, ./stable-diffusion-v1-5, on your disk and you should pass its path to [`~DiffusionPipeline.from_pretrained`].  
```python
from diffusers import DiffusionPipeline
