my numpy version (like in chatterbox pyproject.toml): dependencies = [ "numpy>=1.26.0", ]

I'm working in Python virtual environment with Python version 3.11.13. I solved something similar with:

pip install -U pip setuptools wheel
pip install "numpy>=1.24,<1.26" 
pip install --no-build-isolation "pkuseg==0.0.25"
pip install chatterbox-tts

[de-served]

upgrading wheel and setuptools helped pip install wheel setuptools --upgrade But it must be documented (or added requerements.txt)

spacy_pkuseg works

[AznamirWoW]

or you can delete it from .toml if you dont care about Chinese language support

[Youramon]

spacy_pkuseg works

How so? No matter what I do whenever I try to install chatterbox-tts it tries to install pkuseg alongside it as well. And that install causes errors with numpy. I've tried everything listed here but nothing has worked so far.

[AdityaKulshrestha]

I have been facing similar issue. I believe the its mostly due to the uv environment.

[AdityaKulshrestha]

The pkused seems to be only supported with Python 3.8.20

[AznamirWoW]

The pkused seems to be only supported with Python 3.8.20

Not surprising for 5+ year old project that is no longer maintained, but you really should not use 3.8 in 2025.

So?

I followed this installation video using another fork and I dun see that error anymore

I'm working in Python virtual environment with Python version 3.11.13. I solved something similar with:

pip install -U pip setuptools wheel pip install "numpy>=1.24,<1.26" pip install --no-build-isolation "pkuseg==0.0.25" pip install chatterbox-tts

On the 3rd step I faced with "Python.h: file not found" error, fixed by installing python3.11-dev package.
