conda create --name speech_ai
source activate speech_ai
conda install python=3.5
# Install pyaudio
# You can try pip3 command with sudo if errors appears
sudo apt-get install python-pyaudio python3-pyaudio
pip3 install pyaudio
pip3 install gTTS
pip3 install SpeechRecognition
pip3 install chatterbot
pip3 install pygameIn Windows OS we have several methods to install packages:
- We can install compiler suggested for our Python version
- Or we can easily use
Wheel.
On windows it's bit difficult to installpyaudioandpygame. So, easy way to useWheel. This package versions for Python 3.4.x, but you can download versions what you need
- Install Python 3.4.x standalone or in Anaconda
- Download wheels depending on your architecture (x86 or amd64) and Python version:
- Install packages (install wheel if you haven't did it yet).
