RuntimeError: Ninja is required to load C++ extensions

Hi!

I installed human-parser-comfyui-node through ComfyUI manager and as soon as I run ComfyUI the following error messages appear:

As you can see, I'm running the windows portable version of ComfyUI and I already installed Ninja in the built-in python environment:

Requirement already satisfied: ninja in e:\stablediffusion\comfyui_windows_portable\python_embeded\lib\site-packages (1.11.1.1)

I'm not sure how to proceed to run human-parser-comfyui-node properly. I would really appreciate if you have any idea how to solve this issue!

Kind regards!

I am getting issues with Ninja as well. It says that the requirement is already met. How can I fix this?

@jandolina I have still no idea how to solve it. I'm not sure if this repo is still alive :(

I am using the Clothes Swapper. As part of that workflow, there's a face swapper. If you don't need the face swap, I think the Human Parser is left out.

Hi everyone, I'm looking into this but it's difficult to test things out since I don't have easy access to a Windows machine.

But it basically looks like Windows can't find the "ninja.exe" file. I'm guessing that:

the file should be found under X:\path\to\comfy\python_embeded\lib\site-packages\ninja\data\bin
it is getting downloaded/installed (since it's in requirements.txt - hence the Requirement already satisfied message)
but it's not properly getting added to the system path (maybe because the python is "embedded"?), hence it's not visible to the OS

Once you locate ninja.exe, I think there are two options:

place ninja.exe under C:\Windows (probably not the greatest idea)
add the full path to ninja.exe into the system PATH

A quick google gave me this https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/94933-how-do-i-edit-my-system-path-in-windows but I bet there's better tutorials out there too. Remember, you need to enter the path to the folder containing the ninja.exe binary.

You could also just:

Download the .exe (https://github.com/ninja-build/ninja/releases)
Install it globally using package managers: choco install ninja or scoop install ninja

I'll try to get access to a Windows machine asap, meanwhile let me know if any of the above helps!

I added the ninja.exe to the path environment variable. After "reading" a lot of .h-header files I ran into this error:

After I read that a Visual Studio 2019 installation could cause that issue, I deinstalled 2019 and installed 2022.
Now I'm getting this error:

Ok so now it looks like it can't locate "cl.exe" which is the compiler/linker tool: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/build/reference/compiler-options?view=msvc-170

You can start this tool only from a Visual Studio developer command prompt. You cannot start it from a system command prompt or from File Explorer. For more information, see Use the MSVC toolset from the command line.

Can you please make sure you've installed all of the things highlighted below?

Then, it looks like you'll need to start ComfyUI from the developer command prompt instead of the regular cmd. Here's docs on how to launch the dev command prompt: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/ide/reference/command-prompt-powershell?view=vs-2022

You'll want to run something similar to:

cd X:\path\to\comfy
python main.py

MoonMoon82 · Answer 9 · Sat Mar 23 2024 07:11:37 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

I installed the components you marked and startet VS2022 commandline und ran
.\python_embeded\python.exe -s ComfyUI\main.py
in it.

But then a huge list of "reading of header files" appears and somewhere in the middle some error message like this:

Hmm could you try running in the "x64 Native Tools Command Prompt" instead of the x86 one?

Got the idea from here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/12843846/problems-when-running-nvcc-from-command-line

MoonMoon82 · Answer 11 · Tue Mar 26 2024 00:51:11 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

@gabidobo I don't have any option to choose between x86/x64 commandline

(sorry for the german language, it basically only offers to start the Developer command prompt or Developer PowerShell. I already tried with PowerShell but ended up with the same result.

My prompt commandline looks like this - without any hint regarding x86 or x64:

I assume that it is already x64.

Gabi Dobocan · Answer 12 · Tue Mar 26 2024 05:15:21 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

Could you please try typing "x64" in the start menu, see if you get something similar to this:

MoonMoon82 · Answer 13 · Tue Mar 26 2024 16:54:51 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

Ok, I've found the x64 console, but now I get this error message:

I found a similar issue in the ootddiffusion repo:
levihsu/OOTDiffusion#13
But maybe this is not exactly the issue I am encountering

Gabi Dobocan · Answer 14 · Tue Apr 02 2024 21:47:07 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

Ok @MoonMoon82 it looks like you got to the error mentioned in #2 - the inplace_abn was properly compiled but it's not loading, for some reason.

@kitkat4947 your error seems to be related to the "OOTDiffusion" node, maybe try posting the issue over at https://github.com/AuroBit/ComfyUI-OOTDiffusion

Going to close this as I think we got to the bottom of the "ninja not found" issue, and will continue debugging other issues under their respective threads.

Gabi Dobocan · Answer 15 · Tue Apr 02 2024 23:42:56 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

@kitkat4947 in your case it looks like "ninja.exe" cannot be found by the OS, you need to add the parent directory to your system PATH. Check above in this thread for details.

offmybach · Answer 16 · Wed Apr 03 2024 21:34:46 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

still same errors here. I'm attempting to run in Stability Matrix and can't just alter the system PATH easily

what is "the bottom" of the issue? I don't have OOTdiffusion installed and getting same errors

Gabi Dobocan · Answer 18 · Wed Apr 03 2024 22:13:45 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

@offmybach not sure about how Stability Matrix works (or if it matters for this issue), but the ninja.exe file needs to be visible to the OS for this node to work - hence why it needs to be in the PATH.

If you can't update your env vars you might not be able to run this. But you could try:

moving ninja.exe to somewhere like your windows directory
starting comfyui from the x64 native tools command prompt

Gabi Dobocan · Answer 19 · Tue Apr 09 2024 02:08:53 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

@kitkat4947 Copy the following models to the models/schp directory, depending on which parser you would like to use:

Model based on the LIP dataset: Google Drive
Model based on the ATR dataset: Google Drive
Model based on the Pascal dataset: Google Drive

Gabi Dobocan · Answer 20 · Tue Apr 09 2024 22:01:36 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

@kitkat4947 again, it looks like you're in the wrong repo :) your issue is with the OTTDiffusion node, here https://github.com/AuroBit/ComfyUI-OOTDiffusion, you might want to check the issues there.
But generally, you want to target the "models" folder of your Comfy installation.
PS: Looks like you're also missing the clip vision model.
