git clone https://github.com/comfyanonymous/ComfyUI.git
cd ComfyUI

# Install dependencies
pip install -r requirements.txt

# Launch ComfyUI
python main.py

2. Clone this repository into the ComfyUI custom_nodes folder:

# Navigate to ComfyUI custom_nodes folder
cd ComfyUI/custom_nodes

# Clone this repository and install requirements for model
git clone https://github.com/ai-forever/Kandinsky-5.git kandinsky
cd kandinsky
pip install -r requirements.txt

3. Load the Workflow

Launch ComfyUI (typically available at http://127.0.0.1:8188)

In the ComfyUI interface, click the "Load" button

Select the kandisnky5_lite_T2V.json file from this folder of this repository
