Help with Problems installing Insightface on MAC: Apple Silicon M2

[polarNerd204]

When I tried the instructions to install insightface on the repo page I get this error.

(base) mo-ry@Mac-Studio ~ % pip install insightface-0.7.3-cp312-cp312-win_amd64.whl
WARNING: Requirement 'insightface-0.7.3-cp312-cp312-win_amd64.whl' looks like a filename, but the file does not exist

The purpose being to use it within Comfyui.
running Python 3.12
Have tried a bunch of solutions posted elsewhere but none have worked.

I did a pip freeze to check all the versions of possibly dependencies and made sure they were all correct.

Any help would be great.

There was a very good manual inside the Issue section of the blocked repo :(
I will try to search the page on the web archive a little later

none of that worked.....i have everything installed in the right places (i think) but still getting : 0.0 seconds (IMPORT FAILED): /Users/mo-ry/1AyEye/COMFYUI_PY311/ComfyUI/custom_nodes/insightface

due to: Skip /Users/mo-ry/1AyEye/COMFYUI_PY311/ComfyUI/custom_nodes/insightface module for custom nodes due to the lack of NODE_CLASS_MAPPINGS.

Error: [Errno 18] Cross-device link: '/Users/mo-ry/1AyEye/COMFYUI_PY311/ComfyUI/custom_nodes/ComfyUI-InstaSwap/models/.DS_Store' -> '/Users/mo-ry/1AyEye/COMFYUI_PY311/ComfyUI/models/.DS_Store'
Torch version: 2.6.0

[ReActor] - STATUS - Running v0.6.0-a1 in ComfyUI
Torch version: 2.6.

Anyone with new ideas?
Why is this one thing such a pain and has yet to be rewritten / fixed / altered to be more seamless.?
