Step-by-step guide for installing ComfyUI - Sonoma 14.1.1 on M1

1. Install Xcode Command Line Tools: xcode-select --install since I had a fresh install of Sonoma
2. Accept Xcode license: sudo xcodebuild -license accept
3. Update Homebrew: brew update --auto-update
4. Install Miniconda: brew install --cask miniconda
5. Check your .zshrc if the conda init was added properly
6. Source your .zshrc file: source ~/.zshrc
7. Check if Conda installed successully conda --version
8. Install requirements to use ComfyUI: conda install pytorch torchvision torchaudio -c pytorch-nightly
9. Verify the installation: conda list (check for pytorch, torchvision, and torchaudio)
10. Test if PyTorch utilizes the MPS backend:
    • Open an editor and paste the following script, save as mps_check.py:

      import torch
      if torch.backends.mps.is_available():
          mps_device = torch.device("mps")
          x = torch.ones(1, device=mps_device)
          print(x)
      else:
          print("MPS device not found.")

    • Run the script: python path/to/mps_check.py
    • If you get the output tensor([1.], device='mps:0'), it indicates a successful installation.
11. Clone the ComfyUI repository: git clone git@github.com:comfyanonymous/ComfyUI.git
12. Change to the ComfyUI directory: cd ComfyUI
13. Install requirements: pip install -r requirements.txt
