The current instructions are not very specific about the steps to install comfystream manually. We can update the manual install steps to use hiddenswitch for ComfyUI instead of the normal version. This would provide a workaround to the issue of comfystream not working in ComfyUI => 0.3.27. See livepeer/comfystream#150

<Steps>
<Step title="Install ComfyUI (if needed)">
Download and install [ComfyUI](https://github.com/hiddenswitch/ComfyUI?tab=readme-ov-file#installing) if you haven't already.
<Note>
Currently **comfystream** works only with the [hiddenswitch
fork](https://github.com/hiddenswitch/ComfyUI) of ComfyUI, the team is
actively working add full support for [official
ComfyUI](https://github.com/comfyanonymous/ComfyUI).
</Note>
</Step>
<Step title="Install ComfyUI Manager (if needed)">
Follow the [ComfyUI Manager installation guide](https://docs.comfy.org/essentials/core-concepts/nodes#installing-the-manager) if you haven't already.
</Step>
<Step title="Install ComfyStream via Manager">
1. Launch **ComfyUI**.
2. Open the **Manager** tab.
3. Search for **ComfyStream** and click **Install**.
</Step>
<Step title="Restart ComfyUI">
Restart your ComfyUI server to load the new custom node.
</Step>
</Steps>

Hiddenswitch ComfyUI can be installed and used like normal ComfyUI, to install:

git clone https://github.com/hiddenswitch/ComfyUI
cd ComfyUI && pip install -r requirements.txt
cd ComfyUI/custom_nodes
git checkout https://github.com/livepeer/comfystream.git && cd comfystream
pip install -e .

Running Hiddenswitch ComfyUI by specifying the --front-end-version flag

cd ComfyUI
python main.py --listen --front-end-version Comfy-Org/ComfyUI_frontend@latest
