Hi,

I'm trying to run the code from a Debian ARM64 on AWS.

After installing using pip install whispercpp, I executed the following code:

from whispercpp import Whisper

print(f'STT Starting')
w = Whisper.from_pretrained("tiny")
w.transcribe_from_file("/etc/stt/audio.wav")

And it fails with this trace:

STT Starting
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/etc/stt/stt.py", line 4, in <module>
    w = Whisper.from_pretrained("tiny")
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.9/dist-packages/whispercpp/__init__.py", line 105, in from_pretrained
    context = api.Context.from_file(

Am I missing something?

Hi, I am using whispercpp-0.0.17:

can you try to do pip install git+https://github.com/aarnphm/whispercpp.git for now?

Hey I'm having the same issue on ARM64 (specifically Jetson Nano). Also yes, I tried installing with the git+ command, didn't work and got the following:
