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. You can choose one of the 3 ways to install PaddleSpeech.

Way	Function	Support
Easy	(1) Use command line functions of PaddleSpeech. (2) Experience PaddleSpeech on Ai Studio.	Linux, Mac，Windows
Medium	Support major function，such as using theready-madeexamples and using PaddleSpeech to train your own model.	Linux
Hard	Support full function of Paddlespeech，including training n-gram language model, montreal-forced-aligner and so on. And you are more able be a developer!	Ubuntu

Prerequisites

• Python >= 3.7
• PaddlePaddle latest version (please refer to the [Installation Guide] (https://www.paddlepaddle.org.cn/documentation/docs/en/beginners_guide/index_en.html))
• C++ compilation environment
• Hip: For Linux and Mac, do not use command sh instead of command bash in installation document.

Easy: Get the Basic Function (Support Linux, Mac and Windows)

• If you are newer to PaddleSpeech and want to experience it easily without your own machine. We recommend you to use AI Studio 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.
• If you want to use the command line function of Paddlespeech, you need to complete the following steps to install PaddleSpeech. For more information about how to use command line function , you can see the cli.

Install Conda

Conda is a management system of the environment. You can go to minicoda (select a version py>=3.7) to download and install the conda. And then Install conda dependencies for paddlespeech :

conda install -y -c conda-forge sox libsndfile bzip2

Install C++ Compilation Environment

(If you already have C++ compilation environment, you can miss this step.)

Windows

You need to install the Visual Studio to make the C++ compilation environment.

Mac

brew install gcc

Linux

#  centos
sudo yum install gcc gcc-c++

# ubuntu
sudo apt install build-essential

# Others
conda install -y -c gcc_linux-64=8.4.0 gxx_linux-64=8.4.0

Install PaddleSpeech

You can use the following command:

pip install paddlepaddle paddlespeech

Medium: Get the Major Function (Support Linux)

If you want to get the major function of paddlespeech. There are 4 steps you need to do.

Install Conda

Conda is a management system of the environment. 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

Install C++ Compilation Environment

(If you already have C++ compilation environment, you can miss this step.) Do not forget to install gcc and gxx on your system. You can choose to use the scripts below to install them.

#  centos
sudo yum install gcc gcc-c++

# ubuntu
sudo apt install build-essential

# Others
conda install -y -c gcc_linux-64=8.4.0 gxx_linux-64=8.4.0

(Hip: Do not use the last script if you want to install by Hard way):

Install PaddlePaddle

You can choose the PaddlePaddle version based on your system. For example, for CUDA 10.2, CuDNN7.5 install paddlepaddle-gpu 2.2.0:

python3 -m pip install paddlepaddle-gpu==2.2.0

Install PaddleSpeech

You need to git clone this repository and install paddlespeech by the following commands，then you can use the ready-made examples in paddlespeech :

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

Hard: Get the Full Function (Support Ubuntu)

Prerequisites

• Ubuntu >= 16.04.
• choice 1: working with Ubuntu Docker Container.
• 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 still complete the installation.

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 availability 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

• Enter PaddleSpeech directory.

cd /PaddleSpeech

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

Choice 2: Running in Ubuntu with Root Privilege

• Install build-essential by apt

sudo apt install build-essential

• Clone this repository

git clone https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/PaddleSpeech.git
# Enter the PaddleSpeech dir
cd PaddleSpeech

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 -p 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

Install PaddlePaddle

Make sure you have GPU and the paddlepaddle version is right. For example, for CUDA 10.2, CuDNN7.5 install paddle 2.2.0:

python3 -m pip install paddlepaddle-gpu==2.2.0

Install PaddleSpeech in Developing Mode

pip install -e .[develop]

Install the Kaldi (Optional)

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