In this video I will be showing how to install the comfyUI UniAnimate nodes from the github repository and also through the ComfyUI Manager. All the required lines of code and links are shown in the guide below;

This installation is for ComfyUI_windows_portable_nvidia

You can download & Install a new ComfyUI_windows_portable to avoid dependency conflicts that could arise with other custom nodes in your current environment. I downloaded a new ComfyUI_windows_portable for this installation from comfy.org
The new ComfyUI_windows_portable had Torch: 2.3.1+cu121 which needs xFormers: 0.0.27
(If your Torch version is 2.0.1+cul, then change 'xFormers==0.0.27' in the requirements file which you will find in the github repository we are about to download to 'xFormers==0.0.20')

Visit github.com/Isi-dev/ComfyUI-UniAnimate-W
Click on Code and click download zip

Extract the downloaded file and place in your 'ComfyUI\custom_nodes' folder

To install the requirements, navigate to '\custom_nodes\ComfyUI-UniAnimate-W-main' folder, invoke the CLI from the folder and Enter:
..\..\..\python_embeded\python.exe -s -m pip install -r requirements.txt

Check for errors after the requirements finish installing. If there are errors, try re-running the installation and feel free to ask for help in the comments section. And of course, ChatGPT can be a great assistant.

Double-Click 'run_nvidia_gpu' to run ComfyUi, and confirm if the UniAnimate nodes loaded successfully.

Go to this huggingface repository and download the five models shown in the video:
huggingface.co/camenduru/unianimate/tree/main

Place the models in '\custom_nodes\ComfyUI-UniAnimate-W-main\checkpoints' folder.

Double click 'run_nvidia_gpu' to run ComfyUI again.

Good luck!
