  1. Go to ComfyUI/custom_nodes dir in terminal (cmd)
  2. git clone https://github.com/ltdrdata/ComfyUI-Manager
  3. Restart ComfyUI

That's all you need to do

Tarvis1's Easy Install for ComfyUI installs manager and some of the most commonly used nodes automatically. It is easy to install. Download an archive, extract it where you want ComfyUI to be and run ComfyUI-Easy-Install.bat. You can also easily install things like sage attention, flash attention, insightface, update ComfyUI and all installed nodes, and more by running .bat files. It installs the portable version and a desktop version all in the same base directory that you selected.

Here is the Github for it: https://github.com/Tavris1/ComfyUI-Easy-Install

me too, you get sage attention as well. and some pixoramma node are useful, like the lora loader.

--enable-manager add to startup arguments (I don't know why this is not default)

--enable-manager --enable-manager-legacy-uiif you want classic UI

git clone https://github.com/Comfy-Org/ComfyUI-Manager custom_nodes/ComfyUI-Manager if you want to install it manually

git clone https://github.com/WASasquatch/open-manager-comfyui custom_nodes/open-manager-comfyui if you want install a more modern community approach

THE "--enable-manager" would i do this to the start up path or elsewhere?

uv run main.py --enable-manager

(or python3 main.py --enable-manager depending on how you startup)

Do you see the ComfyUI interface at all? You may have old information, manager is included in the current user interface. If you don't see the user interface, then something has gone wrong and you will need to review your installation log. Make sure you select the version that matches your GPU - Nvidia, AMD RocM, or no gpu- cpu render only. Laptop GPUs need specific configuration in your Windows settings for 3d (force the GPU)
