ComfyUI from installation entrance to mastery, model and plugin management (where/where to go/one key)

Previous (Page 02)ComfyUI from installation entry to mastery, interface to all + first image from scratch You finally figured out the node chain. You can figure it out. But to be honest, you had a bottom-up, zero-plug-in, and there was very little you could do. This is to add two pieces, Model and Plugin. This is Jean ComfyUI From being able to run to being a real watershed of good use。

I was playing with a bunch of models, all stacked up in the models root directory, and the result was that none of the interfaces could be read, and it was gone for half an hour. It was later known that ComfyUI was "unidentified" in the folder. This one helps you walk the road once and for all。

I. Where to put the model file (most important basic work)

ComfyUI has a rule:Any type of model has to be placed in the corresponding folderIt didn't admit it. All the models are sorted below. The most commonly used and easily confused control forms are stored:

Just remember:here's .safetensors, look what it is. throw it in the corresponding folderI don't know. You can choose from the refreshing (or restarting the ComfyUI) that you have pulled under the interface point model。

The typical mistake I stepped on:Throws the base model directly below the models (without checkpoints\), the interface just can't read. Not at all. Step up: If you've played other AI painting software, models are elsewhere, don't copy, change the extra_model_paths.yaml point the base_path. No, no, no。

ii. Where to model (no magic in the country)

This is also part of section 01 of the download station, which highlights the newer route:

· LiblibAI (liblib.art)(b) Domestic stations, free of magic, first of all, search for Real VisXL "Flux" directly。
· GitCode AI (ai.gitcode.com/models): domestic mirror, download fast, Flux quantitative editions are here。
• Civitai (station C), HuggingFace: most complete, butIt needs magic, domestic with hf-mirror.com mirror。

Don't be greedy1 SDXL base model (e. g. RealVisXL)it's open enough. .safetensors suffix, safer than the old .ckpt; file name as pure as possible in english。

Loading of plugins with Manager (province 80%)

It's not enough to have a model, but it's really tens of thousands of "defined nodes" (plugins) — ControlNet, IPAdapter, and a variety of zooming nodes. The manual loads are for command and dependency, and the car is turned over 10 times。ComfyUI-Manager It is a saviour: the officially recommended extension manager that installs/updates/dismounts the node and automatically handles dependency; when importing someone else's workflow missing node, it opens a window and asks if you want to complete it with a key。

The way you set it up is different:

Desktop version:It's the least I can doDefault already brought Manager, there's a Manager button in the menu bar。

Portable:A new version of Manager has been built into the core but needs to be manually enabled. Run the root directory on a portable basis:

I'm sorry
\python_embed\python.exe-s ComfyUI\main.py-windows-standardone-build-enable-manager

if you want to order trouble, you can also go to the official web site and double-click the root directory and automatically load it。

Manual installation:activate venv postpintall-r manager_requirements.txt, started with pythonmain. py-enable-manager。

old version (git cloning):This post is part of our special coverage Global Development 2011folder name must be lowercase, and then restart。

My own portable version was activated by the two lines. Note that folder's name case -- someone wrote ComfyUI-Manager, and Manager couldn't recognize it, and he couldn't update it。How to use it:The menu bar point "Manager" is "Install Custom Nodes" and the search node is restarted. Later on, import a json missing node, Manager will remind you to fill it。

Update ComfyUI and plugins

The software needs to be updated, otherwise the new workflow will not run。Portable: root directory contains update_compyUI.bat, double-click to update; or go to Manager point 'Update All'。desktop version: The settings can check for updates, which are essentially automatic。Plugin Update: All in Manager Update, tick to update, one key. I usually move Update All once a month, usually no matter, enough。

Five, I stepped on the pit. Save you time

Here, you'll put the model, you'll put the plug, you'll put it in a key, and the ComfyUI will be really "along." It's time to find outWhich model? How do we get the good ones– I've already written 04 Full Guide to Modeling Choices, and I'm going to turn it on; I want to change the style quickly and look back at 08 LoRA. The model's off, and you and ComfyUI are really "getting involved." Which step is the card, comment area or backstage jab me。
