How to install? Abogen Compatible PyPi Python Versions

Install abogen

pip install abogen


</details>

---

# Install espeak-ng
brew install espeak-ng

---

# After installing abogen, we need to install Kokoro's development version which includes MPS support.
pip3 install git+https://github.com/hexgrad/kokoro.git

Install espeak-ng

sudo apt install espeak-ng # Ubuntu/Debian sudo pacman -S espeak-ng # Arch Linux sudo dnf install espeak-ng # Fedora

Already supported, no need to install CUDA separately.

Docker Compose (GPU by default)

The repo includes docker-compose.yaml, which targets GPU hosts out of the box. Install the NVIDIA Container Toolkit and run:

docker compose up -d --build

Key build/runtime knobs:

  • TORCH_VERSION – pin a specific PyTorch release that matches your driver (leave blank for the latest on the configured index).
  • TORCH_INDEX_URL – swap out the PyTorch download index when targeting a different CUDA build.
  • ABOGEN_DATA – host path that stores uploads/outputs (defaults to ./data).

CPU-only deployment: comment out the deploy.resources.reservations.devices block (and the optional runtime: nvidia line) inside the compose file. Compose will then run without requesting a GPU. If you prefer the classic CLI:

docker build -f abogen/Dockerfile -t abogen-gpu .
docker run --rm \
  --gpus all \
  -p 8808:8808 \
  -v ~/abogen-data:/data \
  abogen-gpu

🇯🇵 'j' => Japanese: pip install misaki[ja]

🇨🇳 'z' => Mandarin Chinese: pip install misaki[zh]

For a complete list of supported languages and voices, refer to Kokoro's [VOICES.md](https://huggingface.co/hexgrad/Kokoro-82M/blob/main/VOICES.md). To listen to sample audio outputs, see [SAMPLES.md](https://huggingface.co/hexgrad/Kokoro-82M/blob/main/SAMPLES.md).
