Windows Prerequisites

Before installing AllTalk, ensure you have the following:

• Git for cloning GitHub repositories. Installation instructions

⚠️ Warning: Don't use dashes or spaces in your folder path (e.g. avoid my folder-is-this/alltalk_tts-main
⚠️ Warning: During installation 24GB of free disk space is need. This will reduce to 10GB at the end of installation.

Mac/Intel/AMD This guide provides quick setup instructions for a standalone installation of AllTalk TTS version 2 on Windows and Linux platforms. Mac I am unable to test as I don't have a mac, so the manual instructions can be attempted for mac, but they are theoretical. AMD/Intel support is limited, please see the Discussion forums for anyone's experience with this. I also don't own an AMD or Intel card, so its hard to code/test. If someone wants to work on coding/testing, I would be more than happy for this. AllTalk/TTS Engines should default to CPU if no acceleration is available. Thanks
