Cannot get ComfyUI to launch for manual installation; 'torch' missing error

[uraniumcrystalsmaster]

I tried to download Comfyui manually, but it still gives me the same error. I installed torch in the ComfyUI folder because the ComfyUI installation guide does not provide a location to install it: C:\Users\urani\ComfyUI_manual_install\ComfyUI>python main.py --force-fp16 Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Users\urani\ComfyUI_manual_install\ComfyUI\main.py", line 73, in import comfy.utils File "C:\Users\urani\ComfyUI_manual_install\ComfyUI\comfy\utils.py", line 1, in import torch ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'torch'

same problem here

I love ComfyUI, but this constant break/fix BSing around with torch and cuda is indicative of serious development methodology issues in this project. On average, I'm managing 3-4 days a week with a running system. The rest of that time is trying to figure out why cuda and torch are fried when I haven't added any custom modules. The reliance on git modules during startup is a hinderance to everyone trying to work with SD stuff since it breaks so damned often.

I realize that this applies to other image AI UIs, too. So talk to them and fix this crap. You're all going to be squashed by the professionals (MS/META/GOOGLE) if you don't figure out how to make these UIs work reliably. Once they release a buy-me monolith app that generates images, you're all sunk.
