π¨ MEGA FLUX IS FINALLY HERE β Installer & Tutorial Below
🕑 Added 2025-06-21 20:33:46 +0000 UTCThis is a big drop only for β‘ Power Users. Everything you need below. π
I have been working on Flux for months. Way before actually launching my Patreon. So this is a big day for me and I'm excited to get this workflow into your hands. π«‘
π₯οΈ Step 1: Download ComfyUI Desktop (If You Haven't Already)
π ComfyUI Desktop
π§° Step 2: Load the Mega Workflow
Download the Mega Workflow json file (bottom of this post). Use the tutorial version first, then switch to the tutorial free version when you're ready (unless you feel like deleting every single Noodletron node π )
Drag and drop into ComfyUI
It will give a popup about missing nodes
Click Open Manager β Install missing custom nodes β Follow the prompts
My nodes will remain missing, the installer will handle that
Pro Tip: If the workflow looks empty, hit period key on your numpad to frame all nodes into view
π Step 3: Run the Auto Installer
Download the megaflux_installer_v1.py and Launch_MegaFlux_Installer.bat at the bottom of this post.
Place both directly in your ComfyUI folder
Double-click Launch_MegaFlux_Installer
Don't do fast mode unless you are doing reruns
β Let it do it's thing
π‘ Heads Up
Windows Defender might freak out when you run Launch_MegaFlux_Installer. Thatβs normal since it's not code signed (expensive).
Just click "More info" β "Run anyway"
(You just saved me hundreds of dollars π«‘)
β Youβre All Set
When the installer is done, your models are in place and your nodes are ready. Just open the workflow and start generating. π«‘ Post any cool images you make in the Discord image-share channel. Iβd love to see what my you make with these workflows. π
π€ More about the installer
New improvements and changes since the Mega SDXL Installer:
No .exe files β Avoids Windows Defender nuking it
Resumes partial downloads β Interrupted? Reruns pick up where it left off.
Smart file detection β Even if filenames are different, it knows and will skip
Uses ComfyUI venv β No need to install Python or dependencies yourself. Itβs all built-in.
Auto RAM + VRAM detection β Picks the best T5 and UNET models for your setup (FP8, GGUF, etc).
Below are just some of the choices if downloading manually π
(Canny, Depth, Fill, and more all follow a similar pattern.)
No guesswork β The installer handles everything. Just run it. π«‘
π οΈ Manual Download
If you prefer to download files manually or want a full breakdown of whatβs included (you should still use the installer anyway π), check out this post:

π¬ Discord Isβ¦ Kinda Quiet (For Now)
Itβs a bit of a ghost town.
If you do join, all I ask is you help breathe a little life into it.
If you see the opportunity to engage, know I would appreciate it.
Even a single question can get the ball rolling. π

π One Last Thing
This drop took a long time. I built the installer, set up the model repo, tested Flux like crazy, tested custom nodes, wrote guides, rewrote Noodletron more times than I want to admit and way more. All of it was done solo. (ποΈ Keyholders get behind-the-scenes and work in progress updates).
If this helped you, a like or comment genuinely makes a difference. It signals to people who see this post that it is liked and tells me the work was worth it. π«‘

I CAN FEEL THE MAX DIFFERENCE BOYS :)

I been working on a runpod template and think I'm finally getting something that'll work but am curious what you did π
Mirko Baliling
Manage to make it work on runpod, what an awesome workflow, I'm just starting with comfyui and i have so many questions haha
Max
I don't think so. I'm fairly certain it wouldn't work but if you try it do let me know. Are you on Linux?

Might be a silly question, but will this installer work for the ComfyUI "Portable" version?
Max
Do you use runpod? But I would like to support those that do. I might need to explore the idea a bit then test for myself.
Andrey Lukashov
Can you make an installer for people who are on linux/ubuntu/renting cloud GPU please?
