Updates to Free ComfyUI Manual Installation
Added 2025-02-27 03:43:05 +0000 UTCHey everyone! Wanted to let you know that we've made changes to the comfyUI manual installation that we offer you all: particularly the CUDA 12 version.
The biggest change is that we've moved from a python virtual environment (venv) to that of a conda environment. The reason and benefits behind this are as follow:
Enforced compatibility: With the move to Cuda 12 we've gained access to several enhancement technologies such as Triton, Sage Attention, and Flash Attention. However this requires specific versions of Python to be used. Conda allows for multiple python versions in a way that venv does not
Ease of installing requirements: rather than having to be in a specific directory to activate the virtual environment you can activate from anywhere
Ease of future Installers
Uninstaller added for ease of reinstall
No need to delete previous installation: simply run the updater*
We have included a script that will update your existing ComfyUI installation so there is no need to reinstall (update-venv-to-conda.bat) ! Once it has ran, simply replace the existing run-comfyui.bat file with the new version in the zip file. As well, we've included a file called "legacy-run-comfyui.bat" if you need to run with the python environment for some reason. **ComfyUI Manual Only*
