Hi @dawiinci, did you solve this? I come with the same problem.

[dawiinci]

No, unfortunately not.

Hello, @vndee @dawiinci .
Could you try with numpy=1.21.5 or numpy=1.21.6 and report back? Thanks.

[dawiinci]

I installed both versions without errors. But TTS still fails to install:

@dawiinci you are re-installing numpy from TTS's requirements.txt . Can you clone the repo, replace "numpy=XXX" to "numpy=1.21.5" or "numpy=1.21.6" in the requirements.txt and then install ? Thanks.

[mikejgray]

FWIW, this fails for me too, even replacing the numpy version with 1.21.5 or 1.21.6. It looks like there are many bugs in numpy on an M1 chip based on their issues upstream.

[dawiinci]

Are you on an M1 Mac as well?

[mikejgray]

I am on an M1.

[hay]

Can confirm this doesn't work on M1. I tried cloning the repo and changing the numpy dependency in requirements.txt to 1.20.3, which seems to be the oldest release that compiles on M1, but that gives an error about llvmlite

RuntimeError: Could not find a `llvm-config` binary. There are a number of reasons this could occur, please see: https://llvmlite.readthedocs.io/en/latest/admin-guide/install.html#using-pip for help.

This seems to be a known issue with M1 and the llvmlite and lumba libraries and there are even some experimental wheels to fix it, but i couldn't get it to work unfortunately.

[ghost]

I am having the same issue. Any progress?

[nihiluis]

For me it fails due to "mecab-python3"

See:

Having the same issue 👀

[erogol]

We officially only support Linux. Thus I close this issue but feel free to keep the conversation here.

Being said that... One of our deps (mecab) used for G2P in Japanese is not M1 compatible. Try manually installing TTS by removing it from the requirements.

[ghost]

Sure I’ll try that (Just so you know I hate python)

[melMass]

This works thanks, pyworld has no wheel but builds fine on M1

[ghost]

We can probably also run it in Docker.

[jeffrafter]

I'm not sure if this is best solution but this worked for me:

brew install --cask miniforge
conda activate
python --version

You should see:

Python 3.10.6

If you already have miniforge and it is an older version of python, run:

brew reinstall --cask miniforge

Setup the main requirements:

conda install numpy scipy scikit-learn Cython
pip install -e . # not sure if we need this, as make install will do it
make install

Then use it:

mkdir -p ../output/path
tts --text "The alligator mound effigy" --out_path ../output/path/speech.wav

At an earlier point I had run this (not sure if it is a requirement):

brew install mecab

[hay]

@h57758 i tried running the code in Docker on my M1 but unfortunately without success.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Checkout the code
2. Run docker build -t tts .
3. Run docker run tts --text "hello"

I'm getting this error:

/venv/lib/python3.8/site-packages/torchaudio/compliance/kaldi.py:22: UserWarning: Failed to initialize NumPy: module compiled against API version 0xf but this version of numpy is 0xe (Triggered internally at /root/pytorch/torch/csrc/utils/tensor_numpy.cpp:77.)
  EPSILON = torch.tensor(torch.finfo(torch.float).eps)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/venv/bin/tts", line 8, in <module>
    sys.exit(main())
  File "/root/TTS/bin/synthesize.py", line 357, in main
    wav = synthesizer.tts(
  File "/root/TTS/utils/synthesizer.py", line 270, in tts
    outputs = synthesis(
  File "/root/TTS/tts/utils/synthesis.py", line 217, in synthesis
    model_outputs = model_outputs[0].data.cpu().numpy()
RuntimeError: Numpy is not available

So this seems to be the same numpy problem mentioned before.

[pi43r]

At an earlier point I had run this (not sure if it is a requirement):

brew install mecab

This did the trick! Thank you

[hay]

I'm not sure what happened, but when i pull from the latest version (c753ad4) the demo runs fine using Docker on my M1.

[virtualmartire]

At an earlier point I had run this (not sure if it is a requirement):

brew install mecab

Works for me too! First

brew install mecab

Then

pip install TTS

[howardbaek]

At an earlier point I had run this (not sure if it is a requirement):

brew install mecab

This did the trick! Thank you

I can also confirm that brew install mecab did the trick on an Apple M2 Chip!

[TheAlphamerc]

At an earlier point I had run this (not sure if it is a requirement):

brew install mecab

This did the trick! Thank you

I can also confirm that brew install mecab did the trick on an Apple M2 Chip!

Thanks @jeffrafter, it did works on the Apple M1 chip.

[dnabanita7]

for people needing help for mac m2 using py=3.8 virtual env:

brew install mecab-ko
pip3 install numba
pip3 install TTS

does the trick.

[iampedroalz]

Thanks @jeffrafter, it works on the M2 chip also!

Still getting this error with Python 3.11.1 even with brew install mecab, I'm on M1

ERROR: Failed building wheel for numpy
Failed to build numpy
ERROR: Could not build wheels for numpy, which is required to install pyproject.toml-based projects

ERROR: Failed building wheel for numpy

ERROR: Could not build wheels for numpy, which is required to install pyproject.toml-based projects

I am using M1 and pip TTS and here's what I did:

• Install and activate miniforge conda like mentioned above brew install --cask miniforge
• Leave that installation as it is, do not add anything else
• Install mecab and espeak (needed for certain models) brew install mecab, brew install espeak

And that's it.

[winefox]

brew install mecab
this works!
