ComfyUI Manager is simple to install and use, allowing you to optimize your workflow, manage custom nodes, and use advanced features without having to manually edit a single config file.

Requirements

Before installing ComfyUI Manager, make sure you have the following:

• ComfyUI installed (check out the official guide)
  
• Python 3.10+
  
• Git (for cloning repositories)
  
• Windows/Linux/Mac (works cross-platform)
  

Step-by-Step Installation

1. Clone ComfyUI (if not already done)

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

cd ComfyUI

If you already have ComfyUI installed, just cd into its directory.

2. Install the ComfyUI Manager Extension

cd ComfyUI/custom_nodes

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

This installs ComfyUI Manager as a custom node inside your ComfyUI installation.

3. Restart ComfyUI

Once the Manager has been installed, restart your ComfyUI instance. The ComfyUI Manager tab will now appear on the interface.

The management UI is accessible directly from the ComfyUI web interface, requiring no additional login or tools.

What You Can Do with ComfyUI Manager

After installation, you can:

• Enable/disable custom nodes
  
• Install new custom nodes via GitHub links
  
• Remove unused or broken nodes
  
• Auto-update all installed nodes
  
• Configure launch options easily
  
• Access comfy-cli features via the interface
  

Optional: Using comfy-cli for Command-Line Management

To install the command-line interface:

pip install comfy-cli

You can then use:

comfy-cli list

comfy-cli install <node>

comfy-cli update

This is ideal for headless or script-driven environments.

Troubleshooting

• Manager not showing up?
  Ensure you’re in the correct folder (ComfyUI/custom_nodes/ComfyUI-Manager) and you’ve restarted ComfyUI.
  
• Dependencies Missing?
  Run pip install -r requirements.txt from the ComfyUI root folder.
  

Updates not working?
Try removing and re-cloning the manager node:

rm -rf ComfyUI/custom_nodes/ComfyUI-Manager

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