Demo summary
The creator demonstrates how to launch the portable version of ComfyUI by running the 'run_nvidia_gpu' batch file and accessing the interface via a web browser.
Step-by-step
- Open the ComfyUI portable folder
- Double-click the 'run_nvidia_gpu' batch file
- Wait for the files to extract and the terminal to launch
- Access the interface via the automatically opened web browser window
- Press F11 on your keyboard to enter full-screen mode
