Readme Update for ArchLinux
Feature Idea
Arch Linux requieres to set:
export CMAKE_POLICY_VERSION_MINIMUM=3.5
export CXXFLAGS="-include cstdint"
Due to Sentencepiece, the installation process on Arch Linux would encounter compilation errors without these settings.

I just ran into this. FYI, you can also install python-sentencepiece from the AUR and then when you run pip install -r requirements.txt it will pull from what you installed instead of trying to build the whole thing.
Note: I run comfy in a container so I dont have to worry about system packages conflicting with an env.

I've tried it. It didn't work for me.

Just a quick heads-up for others who might try this. It might works in some cases, but it comes with caveats.
AUR packages like python-sentencepiece install to the system Python environment. If you're working inside a virtualenv (or tools like uv, venv, poetry, etc.), that system package likely won't be visible unless you've enabled --system-site-packages, which is generally discouraged.
In general, relying on system-wide Python packages can break project isolation, which may lead to subtle version mismatches (and therefore subtle, hard to reproduce bugs) in future updates.

This is a good point.
I was in a container so a bit different than installing on the host system. (I should have mentioned that earlier)
In case anyone else ended up here, this worked for me on ArchLinux with Python 3.13: (in virtualenv of comfyui)
pip uninstall cmake
sudo pacman -S cmake
pip install sentencepiece@git+https://github.com/google/sentencepiece.git#subdirectory=python
pip install -r requirements.txt

God bless your soul, this worked for me (arch lnux, python 3.13). Was looking days for a solution...
