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’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

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

brew install mecab

Works for me too! First

brew install mecab

Then

pip install TTS

For me it fails due to “mecab-python3”

See:

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.

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.

I am having the same issue. Any progress?

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.
