You are helping the user set up ComfyUI for AI image generation. |
|
|
|
|
|
## Process |
|
|
|
|
|
1. **Check if ComfyUI is already installed** |
|
|
- Check in `~/programs/ai-ml/ComfyUI` (Daniel's typical location) |
|
|
- Look for existing installation |
|
|
|
|
|
2. **Install prerequisites** |
|
|
- Python 3.10+ (check: `python3 --version`) |
|
|
- Git (check: `git --version`) |
|
|
- For AMD GPU (ROCm): |
|
|
- Ensure ROCm is installed: `rocminfo` |
|
|
- PyTorch with ROCm support needed |
|
|
|
|
|
3. **Clone ComfyUI repository** |
|
|
- Navigate to: `cd ~/programs/ai-ml/` |
|
|
- Clone: `git clone https://github.com/comfyanonymous/ComfyUI.git` |
|
|
- Enter directory: `cd ComfyUI` |
|
|
|
|
|
4. **Set up Python environment** |
|
|
- Create venv: `python3 -m venv venv` |
|
|
- Activate: `source venv/bin/activate` |
|
|
- Upgrade pip: `pip install --upgrade pip` |
|
|
|
|
|
5. **Install dependencies** |
|
|
- For AMD GPU (ROCm): |
|
|
```bash |
|
|
pip install torch torchvision torchaudio --index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/rocm6.0 |
|
|
``` |
|
|
- Install ComfyUI requirements: `pip install -r requirements.txt` |
|
|
|
|
|
6. **Download initial models** |
|
|
- Create model directories if needed |
|
|
- Suggest downloading a base model (SD 1.5 or SDXL): |
|
|
- Models go in: `ComfyUI/models/checkpoints/` |
|
|
- VAE in: `ComfyUI/models/vae/` |
|
|
- LoRAs in: `ComfyUI/models/loras/` |
|
|
- Suggest civitai.com or huggingface.co for models |
|
|
|
|
|
7. **Test ComfyUI** |
|
|
- Run: `python main.py` |
|
|
- Should start on `http://127.0.0.1:8188` |
|
|
- Check logs for GPU detection |
|
|
|
|
|
8. **Create launch script** |
|
|
- Offer to create `~/programs/ai-ml/ComfyUI/run_comfyui.sh`: |
|
|
```bash |
|
|
#!/bin/bash |
|
|
cd ~/programs/ai-ml/ComfyUI |
|
|
source venv/bin/activate |
|
|
python main.py |
|
|
``` |
|
|
- Make executable: `chmod +x run_comfyui.sh` |
|
|
|
|
|
9. **Suggest useful custom nodes** |
|
|
- ComfyUI Manager (for easy node installation) |
|
|
- ControlNet nodes |
|
|
- Ultimate SD Upscale |
|
|
- Efficiency nodes |
|
|
|
|
|
