also, where can I find the various headshot_dw_pose images for controlnet?
edit: aha, found them here: https://weights.replicate.delivery/default/fofr/character/pose_images.tar

You need to put the models in place, manually.

e.g: download dreamshaperXL_lightningDPMSDE from huggingface or civitai, put it in comfyui/models/checkpoints.

Check instant id's github repo, there are instructions on where to download instantid-ip-adapter.bin and where to put it.

Apply same for all, search, find instructions, download, put in correct place.
