# Speech-X Setup Guide Step-by-step install for the `avatar` conda environment. Adapted from the MuseTalk official docs for Python 3.12. Or run the automated script from the repo root: ```bash bash setup/setup.sh # Linux / macOS .\setup\setup.ps1 # Windows (PowerShell) ``` ## Stage 1: Create Environment ```bash conda create -n avatar python=3.12 conda activate avatar ``` ## Stage 2: Install PyTorch # Python 3.12 requires PyTorch 2.5+ (2.0.1 doesn't support 3.12) ```bash pip install torch==2.5.1 torchvision==0.20.1 torchaudio==2.5.1 --index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu124 ``` ## Stage 3: Install MMLab Packages # These are critical for MuseTalk - install one by one ```bash pip install --no-cache-dir -U openmim mim install mmengine mim install mmcv==2.2.0 # If above fails, try: pip install mmcv-lite==2.2.0 mim install mmdet==3.3.0 # Note: mmpose not required — not present in the reference env ``` ## Stage 4: Install Musetalk Dependencies # These are from musetalk's official requirements.txt ```bash pip install diffusers==0.30.2 pip install accelerate==0.28.0 pip install numpy==2.4.2 pip install opencv-python==4.13.0.92 pip install soundfile==0.12.1 pip install transformers==4.39.2 pip install huggingface-hub==0.36.2 pip install librosa==0.10.2 pip install einops==0.8.1 pip install gdown pip install requests pip install imageio==2.34.0 pip install imageio-ffmpeg pip install omegaconf==2.3.0 pip install ffmpeg-python pip install moviepy ``` ## Stage 5: Install Additional Dependencies # For this speech-to-video project ```bash pip install fastapi>=0.115.0 pip install uvicorn[standard]>=0.30.0 pip install pydantic>=2.10.0 pip install python-dotenv>=1.0.1 pip install livekit>=0.10.0 pip install livekit-agents>=0.8.0 pip install kokoro-onnx>=0.5.0 pip install scipy>=1.13.0 pip install faster-whisper>=1.0.0 pip install sse-starlette>=2.0.0 pip install onnxruntime>=1.24.0 pip install sounddevice>=0.5.0 pip install tqdm>=4.65.0 pip install pyyaml>=6.0.0 pip install aiohttp>=3.9.0 pip install httpx>=0.27.0 pip install safetensors>=0.4.0 pip install pillow>=10.0.0 ``` ## Quick Test ```bash # Test MuseTalk imports python -c " import sys sys.path.insert(0, 'backend') from musetalk.processor import * print('MuseTalk OK') " # Test TTS import python -c " import sys sys.path.insert(0, 'backend') from tts.kokoro_tts import KokoroTTS print('KokoroTTS OK') " ``` ## Avatar Creation Run once per avatar before starting the server. Script reads from `backend/config.py` for model paths and writes assets to `backend/avatars//`. **Single portrait image:** ```bash conda activate avatar python setup/avatar_creation.py --image frontend/public/Sophy.png --name sophy ``` **Talking-head video:** ```bash python setup/avatar_creation.py --video /path/to/talking_head.mp4 --name harry_1 ``` **Batch (multiple avatars at once):** ```bash # Edit setup/avatars_config.yml first, then: python setup/avatar_creation.py --config setup/avatars_config.yml ``` Options: | Flag | Default | Description | |------|---------|-------------| | `--name` | required | Avatar folder name | | `--frames` | `50` | Frame count for `--image` mode | | `--bbox-shift` | `5` | Vertical bbox nudge (tune if face crop is off) | | `--device` | `cuda` | `cuda` or `cpu` | | `--overwrite` | off | Skip re-create prompt |
