whisper not found error

[vinny-888]

I have followed the steps in the readme but I cannot run whisper on Ubuntu

Command:

whisper  audio.wav --model large

Error:

Command 'whisper' not found, did you mean:
  command 'whipper' from deb whipper (0.9.0-7build1)
Try: sudo apt install <deb name>

Are there any instructions how to run this version after following the steps in the readme?

When I try to run the docker commands I also get errors

Command

docker build -t whisper-cpu .

Error:

Step 7/14 : RUN whisper --model medium dummy.wav; exit 0

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

I think if you just create an empty file called dummy.wav it should work.
