๐ ComfyUI Auto-Installer โ v5 (Python Rewrite)
Version 5 is a full rewrite from the ground up in Python, replacing all the PowerShell scripts from previous versions. It's cross-platform, faster, smarter, and now ships with a TUI manager, Docker images, and GPU-optimized inference out of the box.
If you are upgrading from the PowerShell version (v4.x), a one-command migration preserves all your models, outputs, and custom nodes: irm https://get.umeai.art/migrate.ps1 | iex
โก Quick Start (One-Liner)
Windows (PowerShell):
irm https://get.umeai.art/comfyui.ps1 | iexLinux / macOS:
curl -fsSL https://get.umeai.art/comfyui.sh | sh
Only requires Git โ everything else (Python, uv, dependencies) is handled automatically.
โจ What's New in v5
Full Python rewrite โ no more PowerShell dependency
Cross-platform โ Windows, Linux, macOS, and Docker
TUI Manager โ interactive terminal UI to launch, update, download models, and configure settings
VRAM-aware model catalog โ 7 model families with quantization recommendations based on your GPU
GPU auto-detection โ NVIDIA (CUDA 13.0/12.8), AMD (ROCm/DirectML), Apple Silicon (MPS)
SageAttention 2 + 3 โ pre-compiled wheels including RTX 50XX Blackwell support
One-click update โ update ComfyUI, all nodes, and dependencies with a single command
Model security scanner โ detects malicious pickle code in .ckpt/.pt files
Junction architecture โ models and outputs persist independently from ComfyUI updates
Docker ready โ 4 image variants including a cloud version with JupyterLab for RunPod

PS C:\Users\gue11>
There's no need to shout, it's a major update, and before it's as stable as the old version which benefited from two years of updates, I need this kind of feedback. I'll look into what the problem is.
I checked, the virtual environment created at startup is only temporary to start the installer since it's a Python installer and not PowerShell. Otherwise, it would install directly on your system Python installation, which is not recommended.
To avoid this confusion, I've changed the display for this section. And the missing environment.yml bug is now fixed; you just need to run the script again and everything will install.

Can you give me more details about the problem?

Hi Mate! I've put a few comments on your HuggingFace page and then noticed that you had submitted a new release on here as well, and thought I'd give it a shot, since I wasn't having the best of luck previously. I am still, unfortunately, receiving the same error, to where it goes to begin to install the wheel packages with pip, but errors out on the first one stating that it is invalid as the Metadata filed Name is not found. I mentioned on my latest comment on HuggingFace, that I went through and installed all of the packages manually through command lines within the boostrap venv, and that initially appears to be working and got me all the way down to installing torch but then failed there. I therefore wiped the entire working directory and decided to start over fresh again with this version instead, however, am still receiving this same issue. I have tried different directories in different locations, tried both venv and conda, and nothing seems to get me past these errors of installing the wheels except to do so manually, but then other errors pop-up. I havent seen anyone else speak on this, so I'm leaning towards it most likely being an isolated problem, however, I did freshly install Windows 11 Pro 25H2 as to hopefully avoid any conflicts from prior installs.
The easier way is to send me log on discord (_ume) because I can't understand your bug or reproduce it
How to completely uninstall this?
It's a full portable install, you can just remove the folder
Something weird happened to my ComfyUI - I can't see the workflow at all, the nodes are just "invisible" even though I can see they are actually, e.g. in the side panel "Nodes" I can see them all and their options.
When disabling "Nodes 2.0" and re-enabling them I can see the nodes & their connections quickly "glimpse" for a split second before they disappear again.
I tried updating everything, even clean reinstalling but this behavior is preserved somehow, any ideas what happened here? I assume it's something very simple and stupid but I can't find any option that could have affected this...
Hello, all node or only connection are invisible? For enable connection visibility just click on the small button at the bottom right
For what is worth, I have the same issue even though I haven't updated anything in MONTHS. Just updated my NVIDIA driver though... not sure if it's related?
Just ran the 5.0 installer and I have the same issue. No idea what happened but now I also can't see nodes at all, nor can I run the flows as they are just borked
@thisisarandomaccount2025ย If this bug also occurs on an old installation, then it's not coming from my installer. I'm also going to update my drivers and pray that it works.
@UmeAiRTย And today it's all working. Changed nothing. Have no idea what happened. Not sure if ComfyUI itself had a patch pushed ๐
@thisisarandomaccount2025ย The most important thing is that it works
Respect for the development here. This saves hours possibly days for anyone getting started or managing workflows. Will be checking back to see if issues are resolved.
I dont have any issue open on gitlab or on discord
I don't know if it was an encoding problem or what but I'm on windows and i was getting
```

llm resolved it by creating a new copy of the file that seems to have the same content.
thanks for the updates and continuing to work on these installers not here to complain just to let you know
I've strengthened the security against encoding problems; can you try again and let me know?
