Installation

There are 3 ways to use PaddleSpeech. According to the degree of difficulty, the 3 ways can be divided into Easy, Medium and Hard.

Easy: Get the Basic Funcition Without Your Own Mechine

If you are a newer of PaddleSpeech and want to experience it easily without your own mechine. We recommand you to use [AI Studio] (https://aistudio.baidu.com/aistudio/index) to experience it. There is a step-by-step tutorial for PaddleSpeech and you can use the basic function of PaddleSpeech with a free machine.

Prerequisites for Medium and Hard

• Python >= 3.7
• PaddlePaddle latest version (please refer to the Installation Guide)
• Only Linux is supported
• Hip: Do not use command sh instead of command bash

Medium: Get the Basic Funciton on Your Mechine

If you want to install paddlespeech on your own mechine. There are 3 steps you need to do.

Install the Conda

Conda is environment management system. You can go to minicoda to select a version (py>=3.7) and install it by yourself or you can use the following command:

# download the miniconda
wget https://repo.continuum.io/miniconda/Miniconda3-latest-Linux-x86_64.sh
# install the miniconda
bash Miniconda3-latest-Linux-x86_64.sh -b
# conda init
$HOME/miniconda3/bin/conda init
# activate the conda
bash

Then you can create an conda virtual environment using the following command:

conda create -y -p tools/venv python=3.7

Activate the conda virtual environment:

conda activate tools/venv

Install conda dependencies for paddlespeech :

conda install -y -c conda-forge sox libsndfile swig bzip2 gcc_linux-64=8.4.0 gxx_linux-64=8.4.0

Install PaddlePaddle

For example, for CUDA 10.2, CuDNN7.5 install paddle 2.2.0:

python3 -m pip install paddlepaddle-gpu==2.2.0

Install PaddleSpeech

To Install paddlespeech, there are two methods. You can use the following command:

pip install paddlespeech

If you install paddlespeech by pip, you can use it to help you build your own model. However, you can not use the ready-made examples in paddlespeech.

If you want to use theready-madeexamples in paddlespeech, you need to clone this repository and install paddlespeech by the foll

https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/PaddleSpeech.git
cd PaddleSpeech
pip install .

Hard: Get the Full Funciton on Your Mechine

Prerequisites

• choice 1: working with Ubuntu Docker Container.

  or

• choice 2: working on Ubuntu with root privilege.

To avoid the trouble of environment setup, running in Docker container is highly recommended. Otherwise If you work on Ubuntu with root privilege, you can skip the next step.

Choice 1: Running in Docker Container (Recommand)

Docker is an open source tool to build, ship, and run distributed applications in an isolated environment. A Docker image for this project has been provided in hub.docker.com with all the dependencies installed. This Docker image requires the support of NVIDIA GPU, so please make sure its availiability and the nvidia-docker has been installed.

Take several steps to launch the Docker image:

• Download the Docker image

For example, pull paddle 2.2.0 image:

nvidia-docker pull registry.baidubce.com/paddlepaddle/paddle:2.2.0-gpu-cuda10.2-cudnn7

• Clone this repository

git clone https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/PaddleSpeech.git

• Run the Docker image

sudo nvidia-docker run --net=host --ipc=host --rm -it -v $(pwd)/PaddleSpeech:/PaddleSpeech registry.baidubce.com/paddlepaddle/paddle:2.2.0-gpu-cuda10.2-cudnn7 /bin/bash

Now you can execute training, inference and hyper-parameters tuning in Docker container.

Choice 2: Running in Ubuntu with Root Privilege

• Clone this repository

git clone https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/PaddleSpeech.git

Install paddle 2.2.0:

python3 -m pip install paddlepaddle-gpu==2.2.0

Install the Conda

# download and install the miniconda
pushd tools
bash extras/install_miniconda.sh
popd
# use the "bash" command to make the conda environment works
bash
# create an conda virtual environment
conda create -y -n tools/venv python=3.7
# Activate the conda virtual environment:
conda activate tools/venv
# Install the conda packags
conda install -y -c conda-forge sox libsndfile swig bzip2 libflac bc gcc_linux-64=8.4.0 gxx_linux-64=8.4.0

Install PaddlePaddle

For example, for CUDA 10.2, CuDNN7.5 install paddle 2.2.0:

python3 -m pip install paddlepaddle-gpu==2.2.0

Get the Funcition for Developing PaddleSpeech

pip install .[develop]

Install the Kaldi (Optional)

pushd tools
bash extras/install_openblas.sh
bash extras/install_kaldi.sh
popd

Setup for Other Platform

• Make sure these libraries or tools in dependencies installed. More information please see: setup.py and tools/Makefile.
• The version of swig should >= 3.0
• we will simplify the install process in the future.
