Dear AI Creators, the Long-Awaited "Foolproof" Installation Solution is Here!

The latest ComfyUI desktop version introduces an intelligent maintenance system and PyPI mirror support, putting an end to the nightmare of "5 minutes of installation, 2 hours of error debugging"! Now, with just 3 steps, unlock the most powerful AI painting tool on the web! 👇

🛠️ Step 1: Intelligent Troubleshooting System – A Lifesaver for Tech Novices

✨ Key New Features

• Automatic Network Issue Diagnosis: If the PyTorch (15GB large file) download fails due to unstable proxy settings during installation, the system will automatically pop up a maintenance page, offering "resume download" and "switch mirror source" solutions.

• Environment Repair Triple Strike:
  1️⃣ One-click creation of a Python virtual environment to isolate version conflicts.
  2️⃣ Automatic installation of core components like VC_redis and Git, bidding farewell to "DLL missing" pop-ups.
  3️⃣ Intelligent scanning for missing dependencies, with thoughtful reminders even for mismatched CUDA versions.

• Flexible Path Migration: Switch storage paths anytime during installation. If SSD space is insufficient, the system recommends the optimal storage solution (⚠️ Chinese path detection upgraded for more precise error prompts).

🌐 Step 2: PyPI Mirror Acceleration – Download Speed Soars by 500%

Tailored optimization for Chinese users is here! During installation, you can now choose:

• Mirror Dual Channels:
  ▶️ Official Recommended Mirrors: Pre-configured with high-speed domestic channels like Tsinghua Source and Alibaba Cloud.
  ▶️ Custom Mirrors: Enterprise users can connect to private mirror repositories (must comply with PEP503 standards).

• Intelligent Traffic Routing:
  The Torch framework automatically downloads from the official source, while other dependencies use mirror channels, balancing stability and speed.

• Flexible Adjustments Later: Modify mirror configurations anytime in "Settings > Developer Options" to adapt to enterprise VPNs or other special environments.

🚀 Step 3: Practical Installation Tutorial (Windows/Mac Compatible)

🌟 Golden Rule: SSD + English Path + Mirror Acceleration = 100% Success Rate
1️⃣ Download the Tool: https://www.comfy.org/download
2️⃣ GitHub: https://github.com/astral-sh/python-build-standalone

• Double-click the installer → Check "Enable Mirror Acceleration" → Select Drive D or an external SSD.

• Perk for Existing Users: Import existing workflows and model libraries (plugin migration not supported yet).

3️⃣ Lightning Start: Automatically generates a desktop shortcut post-installation. On first run, check "Crash Report" to help developers optimize.

💡 Step 4: Exclusive Easter Eggs for Advanced Players

• Virtual Environment Control: Enter comfy --venv in the terminal to directly manage Python environments and switch between TensorFlow/PyTorch frameworks.

• Log Analyzer: Click the "▣" icon in the top-right corner to monitor GPU memory usage and node running status in real-time, with error messages automatically translated into Chinese.

• Enterprise Deployment: Use the extra_model_paths.yaml configuration file to enable multi-device model library cloud synchronization.
