Thanks to m3pr0 on reddit for some extra tips.

Hi !

Thanks for sharing your recipe to install a formula one comfyUI.

Everything seems to work fine until i get this error at the end of the script :

sed: ComfyUI_VLM_nodes/requirements.txt: No such file or directory

Macbook air M3 / sonoma

Any idea ?

@laurentVeliscek this requires you to install ComfyUI_VLM_nodes. This was more of a mental note for me though.

That said, I recommend using https://github.com/Comfy-Org/comfy-cli for the installation (at least I switched to it, rather than my script). It provides a great installation experience and handy management tools.

it gets a bit finicky this script, after a few tweaks it is getting better, but lots of erroring out, even after adding ComfyUI_VLM_nodes before hand. I wonder, does the effort on Apple Silicon makes sense at all unless one converts existing models to apple ML? The standard comfyUI works, I am merely looking for performance enhancement on M1, with things like comfyui-reactor-node on video, etc.

This stuff is obsolete. I've been using comfy-cli for a while now and it works great.

indeed - comfy-cli seems pretty solid, I think my py environment was hosed to begin with but after sorting that out I'm cruising, thanks!!

Your installation script for ComfyUI on macOS with Apple Silicon looks solid! Consider adding checks for Homebrew installation and error handling for package installations to improve user experience. Additionally, clarifying each step with comments or echo statements could help users understand the process better. Overall, great work on structuring the script! And I also would like to share some useful information with you. If you are looking for software online through which you can easily delete or paste long path files then LongPathTool will be the best option for you. I am also using it and it is worth it. I am sure you won't regret your decision.
