Thanks @yuzibiubiu - can see the issue. A network timeout when downloading one of the packages. ```auto [2025-02-19 15:21:29.001] [info] x Failed to download `spandrel==0.4.1` |-> Failed to write to the distribution cache `-> Failed to download distribution due to network timeout. Try increasing UV_HTTP_TIMEOUT (current value: 30s). ``` The fastest way to fix this is to delete the `.venv` directory in the location where you installed ComfyUI. The default location is: ```auto ~/Documents/ComfyUI/.venv ``` The python packages you have already downloaded are cached by `uv` - you will not need to download them again. But just in case, you can simply rename the folder instead of deleting it. ---
