Installation Tutorial

My Python Version is 3.10.9.

1. Clone the GitHub Repository:

git clone https://github.com/NeuralFalconYT/Kokoro-82M-WebUI.git
cd Kokoro-82M-WebUI

2. Create a Python Virtual Environment:

python -m venv myenv

This command creates a new Python virtual environment named myenv for isolating dependencies.

3. Activate the Virtual Environment:

For Windows:
```
myenv\Scripts\activate
```
For Linux:
```
source myenv/bin/activate
```

This activates the virtual environment, enabling you to install and run dependencies in an isolated environment. Here’s the corrected version of point 4, with proper indentation for the subpoints:

4. Install PyTorch:

For GPU (CUDA-enabled installation):

Check CUDA Version (for GPU setup):
```
nvcc --version
```
Find your CUDA version example 11.8

Visit PyTorch Get Started and install the version compatible with your CUDA setup.:

For CUDA 11.8:

pip install torch  --index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu118

For CUDA 12.1:

pip install torch  --index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu121

For CUDA 12.4:

pip install torch  --index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu124

For CPU (if not using GPU):
```
pip install torch
```
This installs the CPU-only version of PyTorch.

5. Install Required Dependencies:

pip install -r requirements.txt

This installs all the required Python libraries listed in the requirements.txt file.

6. Download Model and Get Latest VoicePack:

python download_model.py

7. Install eSpeak NG

For Windows:
1. Download the latest eSpeak NG release from the eSpeak NG GitHub Releases.
2. Locate and download the file named espeak-ng-X64.msi.
3. Run the installer and follow the installation steps. Ensure that you install eSpeak NG in the default directory:
```
C:\Program Files\eSpeak NG
```
  Note: This default path is required for the application to locate eSpeak NG properly.
For Linux:
1. Open your terminal.
2. Install eSpeak NG using the following command:
```
sudo apt-get -qq -y install espeak-ng > /dev/null 2>&1
```
  Note: This command suppresses unnecessary output for a cleaner installation process.

8. Run Gradio App

To run the Gradio app, follow these steps:

Activate the Virtual Environment:
```
myenv\Scripts\activate
```
Run the Application:
```
python app.py
```
Alternatively, on Windows, double-click on run_app.bat to start the application.
