Available on Mac ?

[trendland]

Hi Guys.
Comfy looks amazing and I'd love to test it out - Also Im on a Mac, (Sorry about that ;)
Wondering if you know if it would be working so I can test your amazing new tool!

Let me know and looking forward to play with it!
Thank you in advance!

Now it's seems only support cpu if you're using mac and obviously it's very slow. But it's an open source, so I believe MPS acceleration will be supported in the near future.

Mac M1/M2 support, please.

[swankwc]

I second that.

[dileeparanawake]

M1 silicon / neural engine support would be amazing

[comfyanonymous]

I would like to support Mac and will try to implement MPS support but unfortunately I don't have a Mac or access to one.

[swankwc]

Just let us know when you have something worked up or need us to test something the community makes.

[HubertII]

Get one! Recently I've bought a mini with M2 - it's cheap and powerfull! My first Mac ever. Perhaps we could help you with collecting money?

[comfyanonymous]

Basic mac support has been implemented: #244

[freshlesh3]

Thats great, are there instructions on how to install it on M1 Macs?

[MrSegundus]

Are there instructions on getting ComfyUI to work on Mac?

[junglehu]

MacOS intel chip only run on --cpu， sigh～

Comfy on a M1/M2 Mac

This is how I got it to run. It would help if others tried as well and shared their experiences.

Install Python 3

If you do not already have Python 3 installed, start by installing it. You can use this distribution

https://www.python.org/downloads/macos/

in which case you should remember to run the Update Shell Profile.command file after installation. I used the Python 3.10.11 version.

Open a new Terminal window and type

python3 --version

to verify that you have a properly installed Python 3.

Download ComfyUI

If you have git installed then you can do a normal git clone to get the source. If you don't have git installed then you can download the zip-file instead.

I would suggest you put ComfyUI in ~/Applications/ComfyUI, that is, the dedicated app directory in your home directory, but that is not required.

Install dependencies

This is very similar to the Linux instructions except you have to explicitly use pip3.

Open a Terminal window in the ComfyUI directory and run

pip3 install -r requirements.txt

Running Comfy

Open a Terminal window in the ComfyUI directory and run

python3 main.py

If it says "Setting vram state to: MPS" then you should be good. If not I can't help you.

[creynders]

Still works like a charm ...

[ryanbooker]

I'm seeing "Setting vram state to: SHARED", but "Device: maps"? I followed the instructions on the README.md, and have the nightly of PyTorch installed.

Total VRAM 65536 MB, total RAM 65536 MB
Set vram state to: SHARED
Device: mps
VAE dtype: torch.float32

And I get total garbage output unless I force cpu only rendering. e.g. with SDXL base 1.0 I just get a completely blue image for the default prompt/workflow. With cpu only I get the expected image, but obviously it's much slower.

The current version can be run on my MacBookPro(Intel chip), with a eGPU(RX6800 16G).

[danch99]

is it fast ? I have a Mac mini intel chip, and I would like to transform it to a ComfyUI machine.
Nvidia GPUs are not supported by MacOS. Does it worth investing in a non Nvidia eGPU ?

[polarNerd204]

I used instruction from this thread and it works great….i am however having trouble understanding the GPU vs RAM usage. I’m not expecting 4090 speeds but with 128g of ram on a M2 Ultra, activity monitors are showing it only is using 3-5% cpu and upto 70% ….what is the rest of it doing or why is the rest of it not being used for faster results?. There must be some setting I’m unaware of. If anyone knows please pass it along.
