+### Standalone Mode
+
+You can now run LoRA Manager independently from ComfyUI:
+
+1. **First-time setup**: Launch ComfyUI with LoRA Manager at least once to initialize the necessary path information in the `settings.json` file.
+2. **Launch standalone mode**: From your ComfyUI root directory, run:
+   ```bash
+   python custom_nodes\comfyui-lora-manager\standalone.py
+   ```
+3. Access the interface through your browser as usual.
+
+This standalone mode provides a lighter-weight option for managing your model and recipe collection without needing to run the full ComfyUI environment.
