Installation precautions

ComfyUI-Manager files must be accurately located in the path ComfyUI/custom_nodes/comfyui-manager
Do not:
  • Decompress directly into ComfyUI/custom_nodes location, resulting in Manager contents like __init__.py being placed directly in that directory
  • Install in a path like ComfyUI/custom_nodes/ComfyUI-Manager/ComfyUI-Manager
  • Install in a path like ComfyUI/custom_nodes/ComfyUI-Manager-main
If installed incorrectly, ComfyUI-Manager may operate but won’t be recognized for updates and poses the risk of duplicate installations. Remove it and install properly via git clone method.
