Method 3: Installation Using comfy-cli (Recommended)

This solution uses the comfy-cli program to install both ComfyUI and ComfyUI Manager at the same time. It is the recommended option because of its simplicity and robust command-line capabilities.

Prerequisites:

Python 3 (recommended: 3.10 or later)
Git

Windows:

python -m venv venv

venv\Scripts\activate

pip install comfy-cli

comfy install

Linux / macOS:

python -m venv venv

source venv/bin/activate

pip install comfy-cli

comfy install

This will automatically download and install both ComfyUI and ComfyUI Manager in one step.

Method 4: Installation on Linux Using venv (ComfyUI + ComfyUI Manager)

To install ComfyUI and ComfyUI Manager on Linux, use a Python virtual environment:

Prerequisites:

Make sure the following are installed:

python-is-python3
python3-venv
git

Steps:

Download the install-comfyui-venv-linux.sh script into an empty directory.
Open a terminal and run:

git clone https://github.com/comfyanonymous /ComfyUI

cd ComfyUI/custom_nodes

git clone https://github.com/ltdrdata/ComfyUI-Manager comfyui-manager

cd ..

python -m venv venv

source venv/bin/activate

python -m pip install torch torchvision torchaudio –extra-index-url https://download.pytorch.org /whl/cu121

python -m pip install -r requirements.txt

python -m pip install -r custom_nodes/comfyui-manager/requirements.txt

cd ..

echo “#!/bin/bash” > run_gpu.sh

echo “cd ComfyUI” >> run_gpu.sh

echo “source venv/bin/activate” >> run_gpu.sh

echo “python main.py –preview-method auto” >> run_gpu.sh

chmod +x run_gpu.sh

echo “#!/bin/bash” > run_cpu.sh

echo “cd ComfyUI” >> run_cpu.sh

echo “source venv/bin/activate” >> run_cpu.sh

echo “python main.py –preview-method auto –cpu” >> run_cpu.sh

chmod +x run_cpu.sh

Make the installer script executable and run it:

chmod +x install-comfyui-venv-linux.sh

./install-comfyui-venv-linux.sh

This will install ComfyUI and the ComfyUI Manager in a subfolder and create startup scripts (run_gpu.sh and run_cpu.sh) for GPU and CPU usage.

Installation Precautions

To ensure correct installation and reliable functioning of ComfyUI Manager, carefully follow these directions.

DO:

Ensure that the ComfyUI Manager files are located exactly in the following path:
ComfyUI/custom_nodes/comfyui-manager
To avoid path recognition issues, always install using a git clone.

DON’T:

Do not install from compressed formats such as .zip.
Do not decompress files directly into ComfyUI/custom_nodes, which may place files like __init__.py directly in that directory.
Avoid folder structures such as:
- ComfyUI/custom_nodes /ComfyUI-Manager/ComfyUI-Manager
- ComfyUI/custom_nodes /ComfyUI-Manager-main

These incorrect structures can cause:

Improper recognition of ComfyUI Manager in the ComfyUI environment.
Failure of update operations.
Duplicate or broken installations.

If any of these problems arise, delete all related files from ComfyUI/custom_nodes and reinstall using the appropriate git clone procedure.

To activate ComfyUI after installation, use the following command:

bash

./run_gpu.sh # For systems with a GPU

./run_cpu.sh # For CPU-only systems
