For Mac Users

Install brew

brew is an application that lets you install other applications. To get it on your computer, first open the Terminal application. It's your Applications folder, in folder called "Utilities".

Then copy and paste the following command exactly as shown below, and hit the return key:

/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"

Follow any instructions that appear.

Install ffmpeg

In the terminal, type (or copy/paste) the following and hit return:

brew install ffmpeg

Install Python

It's likely that you already have Python on your computer. To test, open the terminal, and then just type: python3 and hit the return key.

If you see a message similar to this, then Python is installed:

Python 3.8.6 (default, May 16 2022, 18:46:03)
[Clang 12.0.5 (clang-1205.0.22.11)] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>>

If you see something like this:

command not found python3

You will need to install Python. Just type:

brew install python3

Install Videogrep and Vosk

Once python is installed, in the terminal type:

pip3 install videogrep

Then type:

pip3 install vosk

NOTE: if you are on a new Mac, installing vosk may not work. Don't be alarmed.
