````text
### First installation

Requirements:
* `python3` (version higher or equal to 3.7, at least 3.9 is recommended)
* `ffmpeg` (see instructions for installation on the [whisper repository](https://github.com/openai/whisper))

You can install `whisper-timestamped` either by using pip:
```bash
pip3 install whisper-timestamped
```

or by cloning this repository and running installation:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/linto-ai/whisper-timestamped
cd whisper-timestamped/
python3 setup.py install
```

#### Additional packages that might be needed

If you want to plot alignment between audio timestamps and words (as in [this section](#plot-of-word-alignment)), you also need matplotlib:
```bash
pip3 install matplotlib
```

If you want to use VAD option (Voice Activity Detection before running Whisper model), you also need torchaudio and onnxruntime:
```bash
pip3 install onnxruntime torchaudio
```

If you want to use finetuned Whisper models from the Hugging Face Hub, you also need transformers:
```bash
pip3 install transformers
```

#### Docker

A docker image of about 9GB can be built using:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/linto-ai/whisper-timestamped
cd whisper-timestamped/
docker build -t whisper_timestamped:latest .
```

---

### Light installation for CPU

If you don't have a GPU (or don't want to use it), then you don't need to install the CUDA dependencies. You should then just install a light version of torch **before** installing whisper-timestamped, for instance as follows:
```bash
pip3 install \
     torch==1.13.1+cpu \
     torchaudio==0.13.1+cpu \
     -f https://download.pytorch.org/whl/torch_stable.html
```

A specific docker image of about 3.5GB can also be built using:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/linto-ai/whisper-timestamped
cd whisper-timestamped/
docker build -t whisper_timestamped_cpu:latest -f Dockerfile.cpu .
```
