yeah as i said, i couldn't figure out how to deploy whisper-diarization.

  • so you need python - a full install, and git. Doesn't matter OS. python venv (virtual environment) ensures that this folder, once it works, is locked to all the versions inside it, including the python version. this works for any software that uses pip to set up, or any python stuff in general.

      git clone <whisper-diarization.git URL>
      cd whisper-diarization
      python -m venv .
      cd scripts
      # and then depending on your OS it's activate.sh, activate.ps1, activate.bat, etc. so on linux [0] 
    

    your prompt should change to say

    (whisper-diarization) <your OS prompt>$

    now you can type

      cd ..
      pip install -c constraints.txt -r requirements.txt
      python ./diarize.py --no-stem --suppress_numerals --whisper-model large-v3-turbo --device cuda -a <FILE>
    

    next time you want to use it, you can just do like

      cd ~/whisper-diarization
      scripts/activate.sh (or whatever) [0]
      python ./diarize.py [...]
    
    

    [0] To activate a Python virtual environment created with venv, use the command

      source venv/bin/activate 
    

    on Linux or macOS, or

      venv\Scripts\activate 
    

    on Windows. This will change your terminal prompt to indicate that the virtual environment is active.

    (the [0] note was 'AI generated' by DDG, but whatever, linux puts it in ./bin/activate and windows puts it in ./Scripts/activate.ps1 (ideally))
