If you have a question which is not answered in the Github discussions, encounter a bug or have a feature request, please create a Github issue. We also welcome you to directly open a pull request to fix a bug or add a feature.
We recommend setting up a fresh Conda environment to install NeMo-text-processing.
conda create --name nemo_tn python==3.8
conda activate nemo_tn(Optional) To use hybrid text normalization install PyTorch using their configurator.
conda install pytorch torchvision torchaudio cudatoolkit=11.3 -c pytorch
NOTE: The command used to install PyTorch may depend on your system.
Use this installation mode if you want the latest released version.
pip install nemo_text_processing
NOTE: This should work on any Linux OS with x86_64. Pip installation on MacOS and Windows are not supported due to the dependency Pynini. On a platform other than Linux x86_64, installing from Pip tries to compile Pynini from scratch, and requires OpenFst headers and libraries to be in the expected place. So if it's working for you, it's because you happen to have installed OpenFst in the right way in the right place. So if you want to Pip install Pynini on MacOS, you have to have pre-compiled and pre-installed OpenFst. The Pynini README for that version should tell you which version it needs and what --enable-foo flags to use.
Instead, we recommend you to use conda-forge to install Pynini on MacOS or Windows:
conda install -c conda-forge pynini=2.1.5.
Use this installation mode if you want the a version from particular GitHub branch (e.g main).
pip install Cython
python -m pip install git+https://github.com/NVIDIA/NeMo-text-processing.git@{BRANCH}#egg=nemo_text_processing
Use this installation mode if you are contributing to NeMo-text-processing.
git clone https://github.com/NVIDIA/NeMo-text-processing
cd NeMo-text-processing
./reinstall.sh
NOTE: If you only want the toolkit without additional conda-based dependencies, you may replace reinstall.sh with pip install -e . with the NeMo-text-processing root directory as your current working director.
We welcome community contributions! Please refer to the CONTRIBUTING.md for guidelines.
