* When the 'Use local DB' feature is enabled, the application will utilize the data stored locally on your device, rather than retrieving node/model information over the internet

3. Click 'Install' or 'Try Install' button.

* Installed: This item is already installed.

* Try Install: This is a custom node of which installation information cannot be confirmed. Click the button to try installing it.


# Custom node support guide

* Currently, the system operates by cloning the git repository and sequentially installing the dependencies listed in requirements.txt using pip, followed by invoking the install.py script. In the future, we plan to discuss and determine the specifications for supporting custom nodes.

* Please submit a pull request to update either the custom-node-list.json or model-list.json file.

# Support of missing nodes installation

![missing-menu](misc/missing-menu.png)

* When you click on the ```Install Custom Nodes (missing)``` button in the menu, it displays a list of extension nodes that contain nodes not currently present in the workflow.

* Currently, support is only provided for extension nodes that can be installed in the form of "git-clone".
