python test_installation.py
# Download missing models
python download_models.py
# Restart ComfyUI completely
2. β "ControlNet model not found" error
# Verify ControlNet models are in correct location
ls ComfyUI/models/controlnet/
# Should show these 4 files:
# control_v11p_sd15_scribble.pth
# control_v11f1p_sd15_depth.pth
# control_v11p_sd15_normalbae.pth
# control_v11p_sd15_openpose.pth
# If missing, download them:
python download_models.py
3. β Installation fails
# Check Python version
python --version # Must be 3.8+
# Check available space (need 6GB+)
# Windows: dir
# Linux/Mac: df -h
# Manual dependency install
pip install torch torchvision --index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu121
4. β GPU not detected
# Check CUDA
nvidia-smi
python -c "import torch; print(torch.cuda.is_available())"
# Update GPU drivers if needed
5. β Low performance
- Enable GPU acceleration in settings
- Reduce video resolution/quality
- Increase cache size limits
- Close other GPU-intensive applications
- Run:
python test_installation.py
to check GPU memory
6. β Memory issues
- Reduce batch size in node configuration
- Enable intelligent caching
- Use FP16 precision if supported
- Check available GPU memory:
nvidia-smi
