This repository provides a portable, standalone Windows package for ComfyUI, pre-loaded with over 40 popular custom nodes and essential Python dependencies. It aims to simplify the setup process for users who want a comprehensive ComfyUI environment without manual dependency management or custom node installation.

How It Works

The package bundles ComfyUI with a curated selection of custom nodes and over 200 Python packages, including those requiring compilation like insightface, dlib, and xformers. It uses a direct pip install approach for dependency resolution, differing from methods that pre-download wheels. This method aims to handle complex dependency relationships more robustly. The package also redirects HuggingFace and PyTorch cache directories to the portable root for easier management.

Quick Start & Requirements

• Install: Download the .7z and .zip archives from the release page and extract them to a desired location.
• Prerequisites: NVIDIA GPU with the latest drivers.
• Setup: Place SD models in ComfyUI\models\checkpoints. Run RUN_Launcher.bat to start. Access ComfyUI at http://localhost:8188/.
• Resources: Requires sufficient disk space for the package and models.

Highlighted Details

• Pre-installs over 40 custom nodes, including ComfyUI Manager, Impact Pack, ControlNet Auxiliary Preprocessors, AnimateDiff Evolved, and ReActor.
• Includes xFormers for potential video workflow benefits.
• Modifies launch scripts to redirect HuggingFace and PyTorch cache to the portable directory.
• Offers a GitHub Actions workflow for users to build their own custom packages.

Limitations & Caveats

• Only NVIDIA GPUs are supported.
• Some pre-installed models may require downloading on first run, potentially causing freezes on slow internet connections.
• Python embedded executables in the Scripts directory might not function correctly if the package directory is relocated due to hardcoded paths.
• Users are advised to use ComfyUI-Manager cautiously when updating nodes to avoid Python package conflicts.
