I'm a noob so this is what I struggled with and how I fixed it:
1. 'Open in terminal' is not an option when I right-click. Fix: Hold shift, then right-click.
2. Error message when I paste the ComfyUI Manager. Fix: Google "Git" and install it, then try again.

Thank you, I previously used stable diffusion and went through a lot to download each file on stable diffusion which added extra time to make it work but this is a simple process and only took around 15 minutes compared to an hour and a half on stable diffusion.

Thank you - this was one of the best tutorials I've come across for a long time.

Amazing video! I had to jump through some extra hoops and figure some stuff out on my own (mainly installing the manager due to the link leading me to the installation of ComfyUI Portable) but it really works!

i've tried to add the confyui manager, went to the exact file, clicked the right mouse button, however no option to open in terminal is visible, is there a reason

Matt, INVOKEAI is a manager for SDXL, and is WAY easier to use and install for everyday people with no coding, 1 click install and models come pre-loaded

I installed ComfyUI for the first time because of this video. I'd be happy to see more tutorials like this -- including some that may cover more advanced topics. Thanks for covering this!

THAT, was the easy way to use Stable Diffusion?!! Woah! Not questioning you or ComfyUI. I just can't believe that's the _easy_ way! Would hate to see the real one.
As always, thanks for the video Matt. 💯

Is there a way to make it more suitable for weaker pc's? If so, would you be willing to make a little tutorial on it? That would be so awesome!!!
Thank you for working this hard! I think this looks really comfy now with the new interface and all.

Thanks Matt, I really appreciate the Comfy Ui install video shout out. Great video as always, thanks. I hope you've recovered from CES as well.👍

[CineSolutions]

Yes, please make more in-depth videos for this app. I have no problem with the length of these videos. Thx for all ur hard work!

I need help please, I tried to run the manager on the terminal but it showed this message:
git : The term 'git' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file or executable program. Check
if you typed the name correctly or, if you included a path, check that the path is correct and try again.

[redfieldson]

First time watching a video about Stable Diffusion, awesome explanation!! thank you!

[CHURCHTINGS]

I am loving the video but when I get to the part where you go to to terminal to right click the ComfyUI manager file, it bugs and says " the cmd github is not recognized as a cmdlet, function, scriptfile, or operable program. Check the spelling of the (before mentioned right click address, but too long to type) ANY help here?

[curtisrcain]

Loved this! SD newbie, this was awesome!💪🏻

[Marsurnic]

Great video!! Great tutorial and exactly what I was looking for for a couple of weeks. Nice explaining.

For who is having problems with the openpose and it says it's missing a file: My map url was way to long and I shortened it, it gave conflict.
