## This assumes you have a working C++ compiler, and standard install tools like make | |
## You may need to install Xcode command line tools for the Mac. | |
## See: https://www.freecodecamp.org/news/install-xcode-command-line-tools/ | |
## These instructions should also work for linux, but all the compilation tools should already be installed. | |
## Change the following to your actual UUN rather than s1234567 | |
YOUR_UUN=s1234567 | |
## make a working directory | |
mkdir -p speech_processing/tools | |
cd speech_processing/tools | |
## set an environment variable to capture the actual directory path so we can easily refer to it later | |
INSTALL_DIR=`pwd` | |
## check this prints out what you expect | |
echo $INSTALL_DIR | |
## go to the installation directory | |
cd $INSTALL_DIR | |
## The next bit is copied from the instructions on the Ophelia github page (install festival) | |
## download the code for speech tools and festival | |
wget http://www.cstr.ed.ac.uk/downloads/festival/2.4/festival-2.4-release.tar.gz | |
wget http://www.cstr.ed.ac.uk/downloads/festival/2.4/speech_tools-2.4-release.tar.gz | |
## unzip and unarchive the files | |
tar xvf festival-2.4-release.tar.gz | |
tar xvf speech_tools-2.4-release.tar.gz | |
## Install Speech tools first | |
cd speech_tools | |
./configure --prefix=$INSTALL_DIR | |
make | |
## lots of warning messages, but as long as there's not actual errors you're ok | |
## Then compile Festival | |
cd ../festival | |
./configure --prefix=$INSTALL_DIR | |
make | |
## Get data from the AT lab servers | |
## the password should be your ease password | |
cd lib | |
## get the speech database for the voice we'll use in the speech processing course assignment 1 | |
rsync -avz $YOUR_UUN@scp1.ppls.ed.ac.uk:/Volumes/Network/courses/ss/festival/lib.incomplete/./voices-multisyn/english/cstr_edi_awb_arctic_multisyn . --relative | |
## The voice above (awb) is a unit selection voice. You can also download a diphone synthesis voice (kal) for comparison. | |
## But note you should only analyse the awb voice for the assignment. | |
sync -avz $YOUR_UUN@scp1.ppls.ed.ac.uk:/Volumes/Network/courses/ss/festival/lib.incomplete/./voices/english/kal_diphone . --relative | |
## get the dictionary | |
rsync -avz $YOUR_UUN@scp1.ppls.ed.ac.uk:/Volumes/Network/courses/ss/festival/lib.incomplete/dicts . | |
## Add this installation of festival to the beginning of your PATH, so the computer knows where to look | |
## to run the application | |
export PATH=$INSTALL_DIR/festival/bin:$PATH | |
## the which command tells you where the command is actually being run from | |
## useful if you have multiple versions of things | |
which festival | |
## this should print the path the your installation of festival | |
## if you start festival from the command line now it will say it's missing a default voice. | |
## This is set by starting festival with the config.scm file (see below) | |
## but you can also set the voice using the command | |
## (voice_cstr_edi_awb_arctic_multisyn) | |
## after starting festival on the command line | |
## Now put the config file in your assignment directory as suggested in the instructions | |
## I'll just put it 'next to' the tools directory, but you can put it wherever is convenient | |
cd $INSTALL_DIR | |
cd .. | |
## check which directory we're now in (present working directory): | |
pwd | |
## make the assignment1 directory | |
mkdir assignment1 | |
cd assignment1 | |
## copy the config.scm file | |
rsync -avz $YOUR_UUN@scp1.ppls.ed.ac.uk:/Volumes/Network/courses/sp/assignment1/config.scm . | |
## set the permissions to readable (incase it's not!) | |
chmod ugo+r config.scm | |
## start festival | |
festival config.scm | |
## In festival try out a command: e.g., (set! myutt (SayText "Welcome to Festival")) | |
