Absolute brand new Ubuntu install, I've basically never used Linux before.
https://comfyui-wiki.com/en/install/install-comfyui/install-comfyui-on-linux
I tried just literally following the instructions.
I went into my base folder, ubuntu/ ...
Git cloned it after installing git
Problem 1. Copying models into the model folder. I figured out how to do it via terminal but that's a PITA, what's a better way? It won't let me copy and paste via GUI
Problem 2. I had to install pipx to get stuff to install, just following the recommendations from the terminal. Is that OK?
Problem 3. I had to do the same command to install a second time with --deps at the end
Problem 4. I don't think I installed the stuff into the comfyui folder? So I rashly reinstalled it all after opening terminal in comfyui folder.
Problem 5. I reached a brick wall with installing requirements. It refuses to work if -r is in the command. Doesn't work either without it :/
Idiot proof step by step guide to installing comfyui on a fresh Linux?
Was I meant to venv? How and where and when should I have venvd :/
