A simple script to make installing ComfyUI node based AI in Linux easier.
Step 1) download the comfy-webui.sh file to your home directory.
Step 2) Open a terminal window and execute the next 2 commands.
chmod +x comfy-webui.sh <<-- set the executable permission
./comfy-webui.sh <<-- execute the script
Step 3) Lastly, after the script finishes, Press Ctrl-C to quit.
Step 4) You will need to download 2 SDXL models and a SDXL VAE file.
For the 2 SDXL models:
https://huggingface.co/stabilityai/stable-diffusion-xl-base-1.0
https://huggingface.co/stabilityai/stable-diffusion-xl-refiner-1.0
And place the models into the ComfyUI/models/checkpoints directory.
Download the VAE file from here:
https://huggingface.co/stabilityai/sdxl-vae
And place the file in the ComfyUI/models/vae directory.
Step 5) Any time you wish to start the server, in your home directory, simply start ./comfy-webui.sh.
ComfyUI Github Repository: https://github.com/comfyanonymous/ComfyUI
By using the comfy-webui.sh script to start the ComfyUI AI, your copy of ComfyUI will be automatically updated to the latest version of ComfyUI.
Older non-SDXL models can still be used. Copy those models into the ComfyUI/models/checkpoints directory. And the older VAEs as well, placing those into the ComfyUI/models/vae directory.
