Environment setup
=================
We will create an environment for `Next-gen Kaldi`_ that runs on ``CPU``
in this tutorial.
.. note::
Since the `yesno`_ dataset used in this tutorial is very tiny, training on
``CPU`` works very well for it.
If your dataset is very large, e.g., hundreds or thousands of hours of
training data, please follow :ref:`install icefall` to install `icefall`_
that works with ``GPU``.
Create a virtual environment
----------------------------
.. code-block:: bash
virtualenv -p python3 /tmp/icefall_env
The above command creates a virtual environment in the directory ``/tmp/icefall_env``.
You can select any directory you want.
The output of the above command is given below:
.. code-block:: bash
Already using interpreter /usr/bin/python3
Using base prefix '/usr'
New python executable in /tmp/icefall_env/bin/python3
Also creating executable in /tmp/icefall_env/bin/python
Installing setuptools, pkg_resources, pip, wheel...done.
Now we can activate the environment using:
.. code-block:: bash
source /tmp/icefall_env/bin/activate
Install dependencies
--------------------
.. warning::
Remeber to activate your virtual environment before you continue!
After activating the virtual environment, we can use the following command
to install dependencies of `icefall`_:
.. hint::
Remeber that we will run this tutorial on ``CPU``, so we install
dependencies required only by running on ``CPU``.
.. code-block:: bash
# Caution: Installation order matters!
# We use torch 2.0.0 and torchaduio 2.0.0 in this tutorial.
# Other versions should also work.
pip install torch==2.0.0+cpu torchaudio==2.0.0+cpu -f https://download.pytorch.org/whl/torch_stable.html
# If you are using macOS, please use the following command to install torch and torchaudio
# pip install torch==2.0.0 torchaudio==2.0.0 -f https://download.pytorch.org/whl/torch_stable.html
# Now install k2
# Please refer to https://k2-fsa.github.io/k2/installation/from_wheels.html#linux-cpu-example
pip install k2==1.24.4.dev20231220+cpu.torch2.0.0 -f https://k2-fsa.github.io/k2/cpu.html
# Install the latest version of lhotse
pip install git+https://github.com/lhotse-speech/lhotse
Install icefall
---------------
We will put the source code of `icefall`_ into the directory ``/tmp``
You can select any directory you want.
.. code-block:: bash
cd /tmp
git clone https://github.com/k2-fsa/icefall
cd icefall
pip install -r ./requirements.txt
.. code-block:: bash
# Anytime we want to use icefall, we have to set the following
# environment variable
export PYTHONPATH=/tmp/icefall:$PYTHONPATH
.. hint::
If you get the following error during this tutorial:
.. code-block:: bash
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'icefall'
please set the above environment variable to fix it.
Congratulations! You have installed `icefall`_ successfully.
For the more curious
--------------------
`icefall`_ contains a collection of Python scripts and you don't need to
use ``python3 setup.py install`` or ``pip install icefall`` to install it.
All you need to do is to download the code and set the environment variable
``PYTHONPATH``.
