Adding a custom_node or model

I’m not having much success with this at all… keep downloading stuff, extracting to the comfyui/custom_nodes folder… remove the ‘-main’ bit from the new folder name , run the pip install -r requirements.txt - all looks good.. lots of white text in the cmd screen…reload comyui… nothing

The last effort was comfyui-copilot… all seemed perfect but it’s nowhere to be found inside comfyui

I can;t add comfyui-manager from essential or the actor nodes… what am I doing wrong

I did manage to load lora-manager from the essentials button - just click install - perfect

Always open to some help to get me started please
