Just did a new install of Ubuntu 26.04, and about half of the commands listed here fail because they assumed some package or other was installed. Going thru what I could only guess was the correct order, I installed packages and worked my way thru most of the install, until this: pnpm run init × installing dependencies You need to work on this guide. |

Thanks for the quick reply. I did manage to piecemeal my way thru, but being a Linux newbie was a definite hindrance.I certainly appreciate the time and effort you've taken to help out the clueless. 👍--Sent with mail.com Mail appOn 9/8/26, 5:29 PM lin-bot23 ***@***.***> wrote:

gyp ERR! stack Error: not found: make means the build toolchain is missing. pnpm run init compiles native modules (in your log, node-pty) with node-gyp, and a fresh Ubuntu install ships without a compiler. Install the prerequisites and re-run:
sudo apt install build-essential git
rm -rf node_modules
pnpm run init
The other commands that failed earlier were almost certainly the same root cause: a minimal Ubuntu 26.04 image does not include git, curl, or build tools out of the box.
2. The docs are outdated, and a PR is up
The guide also predates the official Linux packages: the Downloads page now ships a .deb (Debian/Ubuntu) and an AppImage, which is the easier path if you do not specifically need a source checkout. I have opened PR #1632 to:
Add build-essential + git to the prerequisites, with the not found: make failure mode documented
Document the official .deb / AppImage install path
Mark Node.js / pnpm as source-build-only requirements
Once that merges, the page should match a fresh Ubuntu install. In the meantime the apt install command above should unblock you.
If anything else fails after installing build-essential, paste the new error and we will take it from there.

Hi, recently tried to get the latest Appimage working on a fresh install of Unbuntu 26.01.1 LTS and had issues, will add totally new to Linux and have ComfyUI running in Windows but interested to see the performance increases Linux will bring to AMD hardware. I missed the comments on this until today and noted the instructions are currently out of date with the use of Google Gemini I have created this, going to test later but thought I would post here for comment Step 1: Install Missing System Prerequisites A fresh, minimal install of Ubuntu 26.01.1 LTS lacks basic utilities required to handle app components securely.
Step 2: Download the AppImage
Step 3: Move the File to a Permanent Home Because the ComfyUI AppImage features an in-app auto-updater, it needs to sit in a folder that your user account has full permission to write to.
Step 4: Make the File Executable Linux marks downloaded binary files as restricted until you explicitly allow them to run.
Way to Add a Desktop Shortcut Because Ubuntu 24.04 and later tightly restrict unprivileged background environments, clicking the AppImage directly will fail to launch without a sandbox bypass flag. Creating a native desktop application shortcut is the absolute best way to fix this permanently.

@Antscran Thanks for testing this and posting your steps. Two things that should save you time:
The page has changed since this thread started: it now documents the official Which error do you get when you launch the AppImage? If it is not FUSE-related, paste the terminal output and I will take a look. |

@lin-bot23 thank you for the reply and this makes sense I went ahead and followed my steps and hit the FUSE issue, terminal flagged this and managed to get ComfyUI Desktop running (Python 2.12 and ROCm 7.14). This is kind of unrelated but possible relevant to my installation as performance seemed very slow compared to my Windows 11 (Ryzen 5 7600X, RX7800XT, 32GB RAM) install of ComfyUI Desktop. Possibly my arguments settings but also suspect my install is a bit messy and needs a more structured approach, I intended to do a fresh install of Unbuntu again and start from scratch. I was testing the stock workflows and the Flux2 would generate the first image (1024*1024) but not the 2nd/3rd and found adding the argument --disable-smart-memory fixed this but ~52s to generate compared to ~36s on Windows, LTX2.5 was hit and miss if the final vae would decode properly and this again was slow to generate compared to the same stock workflow on Windows. INSTALLATION STEPS: Thanks again for your help. |
Uh oh!
