Installation Guide

You can run Piper with Python or download a binary release:

  • amd64 (64-bit desktop Linux)
  • arm64 (64-bit Raspberry Pi 4)
  • armv7 (32-bit Raspberry Pi 3/4)

If you want to build from source, see the Makefile and C++ source. You must download and extract piper-phonemize to lib/Linux-$(uname -m)/piper_phonemize before building. For example, lib/Linux-x86_64/piper_phonemize/lib/libpiper_phonemize.so should exist for AMD/Intel machines (as well as everything else from libpiper_phonemize-amd64.tar.gz).
