ComfyUI 03 - ComfyUI Manager Install

ever since the birth of kung fu uid Community started to build add-ons and extensions to create new nodes that can do specific things these are called custom nodes and they can often be found on GitHub to have one example the default workflow of com voi is this it's minimalistic but already the note connections start to form a sort of spaghetti and there is an add-on a custom note that can turn it into this and this looks more streamlined and I prefer this maybe you prefer the spaghetti but this is a custom note and it can be found on GitHub it is called the efficiency nodes you can download it from here and install it in your custom notes folder however the question is how do I know what custom nodes are even available I came across this one more or less by accident but there are in the meantime hundreds of custom nodes well to the rescue comes a special custom node which is called the config UI manager and the manager that's the one that can help us to find new nodes and install them directly from comfy UI itself it can also find missing notes once you uploaded a workflow or a big picture to confu I and you can find out that you miss certain custom nodes because many people start to include them in their own workflows you can also keep your notes updated you can temporarily disable it this manager is really versatile help let's see the manager at work I have it over here we will see in a minute how we can install it suppose I found a nice image on the internet and I like to reproduce that and here is an image I can drag it on my workflow but hey I apparently miss a couple of custom notes I can try to find them on guitar building manager can help me out it has a button that says install missing custom notes let me click that then it gives me a list of everything that I miss in this case that's luckily only one I can install that one it says it is installing and we have to wait for that of course a little bit I don't know when it is ready yeah it is ready right now let me close it it tells me that I have to restart okay let's do this let me close this window and restart it and then after that is done let's see if it's there yeah it is there then I refresh this and look what happened I certainly have this efficient note installed uh what Mark and the manager do well we can find custom nodes I I if you you can try to Google for something that you don't even know exists that is difficult but here is a complete list of uh yeah a database of a hold of custom nodes and if you don't know what it is and if it can be helpful to you yeah yeah just just click this link and it will bring you to the GitHub page and then you can read everything about that node and this is an easy way to find new ones of course what more can we do we can uh install models yes and there's a list of vae and upscalers and face restores embeddings and checkpoints and well this is not as extensive and as it is on the Civic AI but it is a help to install things without leaving even comfy UI we can also update confi UI itself let me click that and see yeah I am up to date and we can also fetch updates for installed custom nodes it will look at what you have and what is available on GitHub and if there is a mismatch it will tell you over here and then you can go to install custom nodes to install the ones that are refreshed and of course there's a link to the user manual and of course you can simply read that this is what the custom murder the confi UI manager can do let's now look how we can install it and so many custom nodes it is available on GitHub scroll down a little and it gives you all the help that you need to install it and I would do myself a favor by installing git because it can be used so many times so go to this page called git Dash scn and look for your download or Windows can click here install get and once you have git then things are really easy because you can copy this line that says get clone and what you have to do is go to your folder that is called custom nodes inside of course inside your comfy UI folder custom nodes and once you are there click over here type command and when you do that hit enter and then you have a command window and there you copy that line and that line starts with Git clone followed by the URL of the software that you want to clone if you now hit enter it will automatically download it there's nothing to install it is just downloading it and putting it here in this folder and as you as we can see I have it already downloaded of here that's all you need to do to get this configure I manager yeah of course a restart and okay we had a look at these efficiency nodes they are also here in my custom notes folder let's in the next video have a closer look at those because they are really very handy maybe see you back there in the meantime have fun
