insightface Installation and Use Error

Attempting to pip install insightface gets me this error message

ERROR: pip's dependency resolver does not currently take into account all the packages that are installed. This behaviour is the source of the following dependency conflicts. numba 0.60.0 requires numpy<2.1,>=1.22, but you have numpy 2.1.3 which is incompatible.

numpy is forcefully installed to version 2.1.3, which it then complains about saying it needs 1.22

Any time I try to run InsightFace using ComfyUI, I get this error message.

You should install it from git, try this: pip install -e "git+https://github.com/deepinsight/insightface.git#egg=insightface&subdirectory=python-package"
