• Git: Install Git by downloading it from the official Git website. Follow the installation instructions, accepting default settings unless you have specific preferences.

Step 2: Set Up the ComfyUI-Janus-Pro Plugin

Once ComfyUI is installed, the next step is to set up the Janus-Pro plugin. Here’s how:

Install the Plugin

• Open the ComfyUI folder where you extracted the files.
• Run the ComfyUI application by double-clicking on the executable file.
• Navigate to the “Plugins” section within ComfyUI.
• Search for “Janus-Pro” and click on “Install.”

Manual Installation (Optional)

If you prefer manual installation, follow these steps:

• Download the Janus-Pro plugin from its GitHub repository.
• Extract the plugin files into the ComfyUI/plugins directory.

Step 3: Download DeepSeek Janus-Pro 7B Models

To use Janus-Pro 7B, you’ll need to download the model files from Hugging Face. Here’s how:

Create a Hugging Face Account

• Go to Hugging Face and create an account if you don’t already have one.

Download the Model Files

• Search for "Janus-Pro-7B" on Hugging Face.
• Click on the model repository link and download all necessary files (typically .bin, .json, and configuration files).

Organize Model Files

After downloading, organize the files in your ComfyUI directory as follows:

📁 ComfyUI
├── 📁 models
│   ├── 📁 Janus-Pro
│   └── 📁 Janus-Pro-7B
│       ├── config.json
│       ├── preprocessor_config.json
│       ├── processor_config.json
│       ├── pytorch_model-00001-of-00002.bin
│       ├── pytorch_model-00002-of-00002.bin
│       ├── pytorch_model.bin.index.json
│       ├── special_tokens_map.json
│       ├── tokenizer.json
│       └── tokenizer_config.json

Step 4: Configure the Environment

Before running the model, you’ll need to configure your environment:

Install Required Libraries

• Open Terminal on your Mac.
• Navigate to your ComfyUI directory using the cd command. For example:

cd /path/to/ComfyUI

• Run the following command to install the necessary Python libraries:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Step 5: Run DeepSeek Janus-Pro 7B on ComfyUI

With everything set up, you’re ready to run the Janus-Pro 7B model:

Launch ComfyUI

• Double-click on the ComfyUI executable file in your ComfyUI directory.
• Wait for the interface to load completely.

Select the Model and Configure Settings

• Navigate to the model selection area within ComfyUI.
• Choose "Janus-Pro 7B" from the list of available models.
• Adjust settings such as resolution, inference steps, and other parameters according to your needs.

Generate Your First Image

Use the following command in the prompt area to generate an image:

generate_image(prompt="a serene landscape with mountains", num_images=4)

This command will generate four images based on your prompt. Experiment with different prompts to explore the full potential of Janus-Pro 7B.

Troubleshooting Tips

• Insufficient VRAM: If you encounter memory-related errors, consider using a smaller model or reducing the image resolution.
• Missing Dependencies: Ensure all required libraries are installed via pip.
• Model Not Loading: Double-check that all model files are correctly placed in their respective directories and that paths are set correctly in ComfyUI.
