Microsoft Visual C++ required now? Seriously?

[mweldon]

Okay I installed it and update still says that I need it. The installer took about 15 minutes and threw a million errors. After re-running it several times I finally get through it and it says "No GPU being used". Try to run the update bat and 15 minutes later it complains that I don't have MSVC. So I install that, try to update again and it still thinks I don't have it.

Microsoft visual C++ requirement happens when some package isn't available in binary format. Sometimes these packages can be installed with an alternative command. But it is necessary to know which package is causing the issue. They are complied to binary for optimization; however some of the code isn't even fully python thus requires a compiler as a matter of fact. Microsoft Visual C++ is the standard C++ compiler on Windows. It's similar to GCC for Linux. The installer allows only for the build tools to be installed, and automatically sets up the path. In any case, there appears to be a major failure on your system that requires installation logs to debug.

I know what MSVC is. If I have to build the libraries from scratch, that's probably a deal-breaker for me.

Here's one of the errors:

Trying to build this one too:

      error: Microsoft Visual C++ 14.0 or greater is required. Get it with "Microsoft C++ Build Tools": https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/visual-cpp-build-tools/

[rsxdalv]

Thanks for the logs. I'll try some different scenarios to test it out. Although some libraries are true snowflakes, I think others can be prebuilt. Fairseq failing to build will only disable the voice cloning tab. Unfortunately this seems to be a poorly distributed package, I've heard about it failing in other projects and especially when there's even a hint of uniqueness in the user's system.

Ok, so the wheels are being built for new versions of scikit-learn
(https://github.com/scikit-learn/scikit-learn/blob/main/.github/workflows/wheels.yml)
And in fact one of them is being installed;

Collecting scikit-learn>=0.20.0 (from librosa->audiocraft@ git+https://git@github.com/facebookresearch/audiocraft#egg=audiocraft@c9179f8->-r requirements.txt (line 8))

     ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 9.2/9.2 MB 45.2 MB/s eta 0:00:00

however, there's a dependency that requires an old version:

Collecting scikit-learn==0.24.0 (from audiolm-pytorch->-r requirements.txt (line 1))

Which then causes it to get built

Building wheels for collected packages: scikit-learn

Successfully built scikit-learn

Therefore fixing some downstream project might be enough to deal with this.
Additionally, the installation process of tts-generation-webui could be simplified altogether by modifying some of the downstream projects.

Since it also affects fairseq, this is the project I will attempt to package and fix:
https://github.com/gitmylo/bark-voice-cloning-HuBERT-quantizer

I added nodejs to the new installer, although I have not confirmed if it automatically includes the build tools when installed this way. However, if manually installed, nodejs does include the build tools (an oddly is a friendlier install than the official way).

Hello @mweldon I have spent 3 entire weeks trying to find a way to clone correclty voices and I still did not get good results, I am so tired of it. I am contacting you because I saw you had old comments under old issues, you haev probably found better ways since then? Could you save me from my misery and direct me towards a method, a repo, a tutorial or anything that helps get to the point where I can actually clone a voice thats looks similar to the cloned voice please? Help my soul lol. Really.
