Looks like this in the manager, tried every option still fails in the same way. Is there any way to do a manual install?

[cubiq]

always update pip first

maybe you just need to install Cython, anyway there's a lengthy thread on the ipadapter on how to install insightface cubiq/ComfyUI_IPAdapter_plus#162

If you encounter the following error while trying to install InsightFace for InstantID in ComfyUI:

insightface-0.7.3-cp311-cp311-win_amd64_.whl is not a supported wheel on this platform

Here is the procedure I used to successfully install InsightFace:

Steps to Follow:

1. Check the Python version in ComfyUI:

   • Go to the ~/comfyui/python_embedded folder and double-click on python.exe.
   • Note the version of Python (e.g., 3.09, 3.10, 3.11, or 3.12).

2. Install the same version of Python on Windows:

   • Make sure the version of Python installed on your Windows system matches the one in ~/comfyui/python_embedded.
   • If it doesn't, download and install the correct version from python.org.

3. Install InsightFace:

   • Navigate to the folder where Python is installed on your system, typically:

C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python311

• Click on the address bar in File Explorer, type cmd, and press Enter to open a command prompt.
• Run the following command to install InsightFace:

.\python.exe -m pip install insightface

4. Copy the "insightface" folder to ComfyUI:
   • After the installation, a folder named "insightface" should appear.
   • Copy this folder and paste it into ~/comfyui/python_embedded in your ComfyUI installation.
   • Then, in this folder, open a command prompt by typing cmd in the address bar and run the following command:

.\python.exe -m pip install insightface

After this, InsightFace should be successfully installed, and you should be able to install and use InstantID without any issues!
