Raspberry Pi Installation Prerequisites

[dbreunig]

People are going to have to have sox on their system to get this working:

$ sudo apt install sox

@dbreunig Thanks so much! This was the missing piece for me.

@petewarden : While installing on an RPi3, it ran out of disk space when copying etc/spchcat/models to /etc. The total size of this dir. is indeed larger (2.3GB). Is it possible to copy these models in some place other than the root dir.?

thanks for the tip, I got it working on a raspberry pi zero 2, running on 2021-05-07-raspios-buster-armhf

I tried sudo apt install sox without success, I keep getting an error:

spchcat: error while loading shared libraries: libsox.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I really wish this could work, please help.

Running on rasp pi 3b+

Issue got fixed running:

apt-get -qq install -y sox libsox-dev libpulse-dev make gcc g++ wget curl sudo

I'm happy! :)

FYI, FWIW: after installing apt-get install sox libsox-dev I am able to use it on RPi3 running "Raspbian GNU/Linux 11 (bullseye)" (arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc-8, #1514 SMP Mon Jan 17 17:36:39 GMT 2022).

FYI - I have a 64bit version of Raspbian installed, and had to run this to be able to run 32bit programs: sudo apt install libc6:armhf

ref.

EDIT: there's a whole lot more 32 bit dependancies that need to be installed, so I'm just going to install 32bit raspbian instead!

And also pulseaudio, the README doesn't mention it for rpi.
