+# ⚙️ ComfyUI Setup Guide (AMD ROCm)
+
+This guide covers installing ComfyUI with FLUX.1-schnell on a Fedora Linux system with an AMD GPU.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- AMD GPU with ROCm support (tested: RX 7900 XTX)
+- Fedora Linux (tested: Fedora 43 / kernel 6.19)
+- Python 3.11+
+- ~15GB free disk space (model weights)
+- HuggingFace account with FLUX license accepted
+
+## Step 1: Install ComfyUI
+
+ComfyUI is **not on PyPI** — must be cloned from source:
+
+```bash
+cd ~
+git clone https://github.com/comfyanonymous/ComfyUI
+cd ComfyUI
+python -m venv .venv
+source .venv/bin/activate
+
+# Install PyTorch ROCm build (CRITICAL for AMD GPUs)
+pip install torch torchvision --index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/rocm6.2
+
+# Install ComfyUI dependencies
+pip install -r requirements.txt
+```
+
+## Step 2: Download FLUX.1-schnell
+
+FLUX.1-schnell is **gated on HuggingFace** — you must:
+1. Create a HuggingFace account
+2. Accept the FLUX.1-schnell license at https://huggingface.co/black-forest-labs/FLUX.1-schnell
+3. Generate an access token at https://huggingface.co/settings/tokens
+
+```bash
+pip install huggingface_hub
+
+huggingface-cli download black-forest-labs/FLUX.1-schnell \
+  flux1-schnell.safetensors \
+  --local-dir ~/ComfyUI/models/checkpoints \
+  --token YOUR_HF_TOKEN_HERE
+```
+
+## Step 3: Download VAE and CLIP Models
+
+```bash
+# VAE
+huggingface-cli download black-forest-labs/FLUX.1-schnell \
+  ae.safetensors \
+  --local-dir ~/ComfyUI/models/vae
+
+# CLIP models
+huggingface-cli download comfyanonymous/flux_text_encoders \
+  t5xxl_fp8_e4m3fn.safetensors clip_l.safetensors \
+  --local-dir ~/ComfyUI/models/clip
+```
+
+## Step 4: Start ComfyUI
+
+```bash
+cd ~/ComfyUI
+
+# AMD GPU REQUIRES this environment variable
+HSA_OVERRIDE_GFX_VERSION=11.0.0 \
+  nohup .venv/bin/python main.py --listen --port 8188 > /tmp/comfyui.log 2>&1 &
+
+echo "ComfyUI PID: $!"
+```
+
+> ⚠️ `HSA_OVERRIDE_GFX_VERSION=11.0.0` is mandatory for RX 7900 XTX on ROCm. Without it, model loading fails silently.
+
+## Step 5: Verify
+
+```bash
+curl http://localhost:8188/system_stats
+```
+
+## Performance
+
+| GPU | Model | Resolution | Steps | Time |
+|---|---|---|---|---|
+| AMD RX 7900 XTX | FLUX.1-schnell | 1024×1024 | 4 | ~8s |
+| AMD RX 7900 XTX | FLUX.1-schnell | 1280×512 | 4 | ~7s |
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+| Problem | Solution |
+|---|---|
+| `HTTP 401` downloading model | Accept FLUX license on HuggingFace first |
+| GPU not detected | Ensure `HSA_OVERRIDE_GFX_VERSION=11.0.0` is set |
+| `Connection refused` | Start ComfyUI first, check port 8188 |
+| Slow generation (>60s) | ComfyUI may be running on CPU — check ROCm install |
+| Ollama image gen | As of April 2026: macOS-only, not available on Linux |
