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

stable_diffusion = DiffusionPipeline.from_pretrained("./stable-diffusion-v1-5", use_safetensors=True)
```  
The [`~DiffusionPipeline.from_pretrained`] method won't download files from the Hub when it detects a local path, but this also means it won't download and cache the latest changes to a checkpoint.
