Configuration

Wheel Installer Configuration

Edit the wheel_urls.txt file in this directory to add your wheel URLs:

# ComfyUI Wheel Installer - Wheel URLs Configuration
# Add one wheel URL per line. Lines starting with # are comments.

https://example.com/packages/numpy-1.24.0-cp311-cp311-win_amd64.whl
https://example.com/packages/torch-2.0.0-cp311-cp311-linux_x86_64.whl
https://example.com/packages/pillow-9.5.0-cp311-cp311-manylinux_2_17_x86_64.whl

Configuration Guidelines:

• One URL per line
• Lines starting with # are treated as comments
• Empty lines are ignored
• URLs should point directly to .whl files
• The filename will be extracted and shown in the dropdown

Pip Package Installer Configuration

Edit the package_names.txt file in this directory to add package names:

# ComfyUI Pip Package Installer - Package Names Configuration
# Add one package name per line. Lines starting with # are comments.
# You can specify versions using standard pip syntax.
# You can also include multiple packages and pip flags on a single line.

# Single package examples:
numpy==1.24.0
pillow>=9.0.0
requests

# Multiple packages on one line:
torch torchvision torchaudio

# Custom index URL (for PyTorch with CUDA):
torch torchvision --index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu130

Configuration Guidelines:

• One entry per line (can be a single package or multiple packages with flags)
• Lines starting with # are treated as comments
• Empty lines are ignored
• Use standard pip package naming (supports version specifiers like ==, >=, ~=)
• Multiple packages and pip flags are supported on a single line
• Common flags: --index-url, --extra-index-url, --no-cache-dir, --no-deps
• Packages will be installed from PyPI unless otherwise configured with --index-url
