## Installation

Whisper JAX was tested using Python 3.9 and JAX version 0.4.5. Installation assumes that you already have the latest 
version of the JAX package installed on your device. You can do so using the official JAX installation guide: https://github.com/google/jax#installation

Once the appropriate version of JAX has been installed, Whisper JAX can be installed through pip:
```
pip install git+https://github.com/sanchit-gandhi/whisper-jax.git
```

To update the Whisper JAX package to the latest version, simply run:
```
pip install --upgrade --no-deps --force-reinstall git+https://github.com/sanchit-gandhi/whisper-jax.git
```
