We don't support M1 systems as we stated in the README.md, we support linux ATM. But can you check whether it installs when you remove mecab-python3 from requirements.txt

If it works maybe we can ignore it when installing on M1

@erogol following your suggestion to remove mecab-python3 from requirements.txt,
this throws the error mecab not found:

tts --text "Text for TTS" --out_path output/path/speech.wav

I understand this is because the default models include mecab but how can we make it run then?

[agilebean]

@kundanshrivastava
I was able to make the whole installation work with the following:

# install arm64 dependency before installing mecab-python3
arch -arm64e /opt/homebrew/bin/brew install mecab

# install dependency python
mamba install python=3.10

Nevertheless, there is a new issue that I filed as bug.

[polm]

Hey, I'm the mecab-python3 maintainer. I am unable to provide M1 wheels because mecab-python3 needs to compile native extensions and I have no M1 hardware and Github Actions doesn't provide a build env I can use.

I don't really know anything about this package, but it seems like it's not focused on Japanese. If most of your users don't need MeCab, it would be best if you configure it as an extra dependency instead of including it by default, so that users who don't need it to just ignore it.

If you need a reference for how to lazy-load a module and warn about it, look at how spaCy handles Japanese imports.

@kundanshrivastava @erogol
I totally agree with @polm, I think it would be better for most users do remove the MeCab dependency from the default models.
Do you think that is possible to implement in the near future?

[erogol]

In due time yes but probably not in the near future.

[evilc3]

I was able to install it using brew mecab.

[MaxHorstmann]

You can also now run the Docker container on latest Docker Desktop (4.16+) with Rosetta for x86/amd64 emulation enabled (disable containerd for pulling images):

docker run --rm -it -p 5002:5002 --platform linux/amd64 --entrypoint /bin/bash ghcr.io/coqui-ai/tts-cpu

on M2 mac and with conda I was able to install TTS dev branch.

[fivestones]

on M2 mac and with conda I was able to install TTS dev branch.

Can you explain more? What did you do to install that branch with conda?

[erogol]

git checkout dev
pip install -e .

[pathnirvana]

can install successfully but when trying to synthesis it gives the following bus error on a m1 mac
zsh: bus error tts --text "xxx" --model_path "checkpoint_50000.pth"

[itachiluan]

I'm on an M1 mac mini and a simple brew install mecab just helped me install TTS successfully.

[aedocw]

I'm also on m1 mac and brew install mecab made TTS installation work. That, plus pinning to Python 3.10.11.

[erogol]

I close this issue. I was able to install on M1 a couple of times with no issue.s
