FaceEnhance

Enhancing faces in AI generated images.

Installation

Prerequisites

• Python 3.8 or higher
• At least 50GB of free disk space for models and dependencies

Setup

1. Set up your Hugging Face token:

   • Create a token at Hugging Face if you don't have one
   • Set the token as an environment variable:

     export HUGGINGFACE_TOKEN=your_token_here
     

2. Set the Hugging Face cache directory:

   export HF_HOME=/path/to/your/huggingface_cache
   

   This defines where models will be downloaded and later symlinked to the ComfyUI folder.

3. Create and activate a virtual environment:

   python -m venv venv
   source venv/bin/activate  # On Windows: venv\Scripts\activate
   

4. Run the installation script:

   python install.py
   

This script will:

• Install all required dependencies to your virtual environment
• Install ComfyUI and necessary custom nodes
• Download and install all required models (FLUX, ControlNet, text encoders, PuLID, and more)
