What you can do, after

- Installing [ComfyUI](https://download.comfy.org/mac/dmg/arm64) beta for Mac Apple silicon

- create separately a conda env meaning:

- enter the env you just created

- I guess, you will get an issue while trying to run the ComfyUI, since they are running the main.py file inside your /Applications/ComfyUI.app/Contents/Resources/ComfyUI. So what you can do is copy that folder into ~/Documents/ComfyUI. Moving it because at runtime python will try to manipulate files (I/O operations will happen for sure) via `cp -rf /Applications/ComfyUI.app/Contents/Resources/ComfyUI ~/Documents`

- now you can easily start your `python main.py`, you will be able to see the local IP address to access in the browser.
