-## Installation - ComfyUI
-First, this plugin depends on **Python 3.10**, which means we cannot use the default Python that comes with ComfyUI, as it is Python 3.11. For this reason, it is recommended to use conda to manage and create the ComfyUI runtime environment:
+### Env 1 - see Method 1
+1. ComfyUI embedded python (python 3.11) and ComfyUI Manager
+
+### Env 2 - see Method 2
+1. conda
+2. Python 3.10
+
+## (Common) Installation - CUDA & cuDNN
+This repo requires specific versions of CUDA and cuDNN to be installed locally:
+- For CUDA, I only install and test CUDA 12.1, you can find it from https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-12-1-0-download-archive
+- For cuDNN, it MUST be v8.9.2 - CUDA 12.x (according to https://github.com/mdboom/pytoshop/issues/9), you can find it from https://developer.nvidia.com/rdp/cudnn-archive
+- After install and unzip, make sure you configure the PATH of your system variable ![Path](docs/paths.png)

+## (Common) Installation - Visual Studio Build Tools
+It might also require Visual Studio Build Tools.
+However, I am not sure because my local already installed previously. 
+If it needs, you can find from [Visual Studio Build Tools](https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/downloads/?q=build+tools).

+1. You could clone this repo inside **comfyUI/custom_notes** directly `git clone https://github.com/jtydhr88/ComfyUI-LayerDivider.git`
+2. or use ComfyUI Manager   ![manager](docs/comfyui-manager.png)

+4. Stop ComfyUI
+5. Then go to **custom_nodes\ComfyUI-LayerDivider**, and run **install_windows_portable_win_py311_cu121.bat**

+## (Method 2) Installation - ComfyUI
+You could use conda to manage and create the ComfyUI runtime environment:
 - use cmd/terminal to enter the comfyui root folder (which includes run_cpu.bat and run_nvidia_gpu.bat) 
 - `conda create --name comfy-py-310 python=3.10`
 - `conda activate comfy-py-310`

 ## Known issues
 Sometimes, composite mode will fail on some images, such as ComfyUI example image, still under invesgating the cause
 
-
-## Python 3.11? ComfyUI's Built-in Python?
-As mentioned above, some dependency packages in the original library are only available in Python 3.10, not in Python 3.11. At this stage, a new runtime environment must be created independently of the Python that comes with ComfyUI. 
-
-However, it is possible that support for Python 3.11 may be found in the future.
-
-## ComfyUI Manager?
-I understand that many non-technical users rely on ComfyUI Manager for plugin installation and management. However, as mentioned in the installation instructions above, this plugin requires some local configuration, Python version, and the order of dependency installation. 
-
-Based on these considerations, it will not be registered on ComfyUI Manager, at least at this point in time.
