How to install comfyUI on macos m3 without a virtual environment? Similar to windows python_embed setup.

[dkampien]

Your question

I used the windows version of comfyui and I want to use a similar environment for mac. I don't want to use vevns as they are generally slower and the startup process is tedious with the terminal. And I don't want to install globally. Is there any way to create a python_embedded setup like on windows? Im using python3.11 installed via homebrew. Thanks

the embedded python is really just a venv so there should be no performance difference. you could write a shell script to activate the venv and run main.py to make startup easier

You can pretend your brew env is your python venv. It's not an issue unless you need different sets of python modules for different versions of python.

Are venvs generally slower? They work with PATH manipulation so shouldn't be.

Creating a venv inside your Comfy install directory sounds exactly like what you want.

I have the same setup as you. Check out pyenv.
