I had this problem too, I was able to get around it by installing python v3.10.12 and using that in a virtual environment. Otherwise I could not find any way to get it to work with my main system python v3.12.3. It seems this trick doesn't work for everyone but it did work for me on Arch Linux.

Same issue here... even with python v3.10.12 I still having the issue on my mac m1. I don't know if this can affect

I am having this as well on a Mac with python 13.10.12

[SomeOtherDev]

I'm having this issue with both Python 3.11 and 3.9 on Windows. Downloading and running the piper windows binary works fine, but having the package installed would be better for my projects.

My "workaround" at the moment is a Dockerfile using the python:3.9-slim image. I then run apt-install for "libportaudio2" and "libsndfile1" (not sure if these are even needed tbh), and then ensuring piper-tts is installed via pip (I have a requirements.txt file for this).

Having the same issue on Windows 10 with a fresh install of Windows and Python 3.10.6. I had previously tried with Python 3.11 and 3.12 which gave the exact same conflict error, so I did a system wipe and reinstalled just one runtime to see if it was some kind of orphaned package conflicting on the old system.

[ekcrisp]

Many users are having similar install issues across many different platforms. Most suggest some workaround including building from source, which is obviously a bad user experience. I personally was able to install by downgrading python on the latest Ubuntu. I had to switch from using 32 bit to 64 bit in order to get it working on Raspberry PI OS Lite. Maintainers need to prioritize these issues so that new users are able to use their software.

[xx-5]

piper is dead, broken for months, last release 2023, switch to something else

[gunthercox]

One solution here in case it helps anyone is upgrading your OS version.

Longer more detailed explanation for those who want to understand more:

If you take a look at the uploaded package identifiers for piper-phonemize: https://pypi.org/project/piper-phonemize/#files you can see that most of the package identifiers have the formats such as:

CPython 3.11 manylinux: glibc 2.28+ x86-64

In this example, we can see that the requirements needed to install that specific version of the package are:

• Python 3.11
• glibc 2.28+
• A 64-bit OS

Other wheels available appear to support python version 3.9, 3.10, and mac OS architectures, but the main thing here for folks installing piper-tts (and subsequently the piper-phonemize dependency) on linux OS variations is going to be that glibc 2.28+ requirement.

glibc is the GNU C Library that is built into most linux distros and in many cases it is a core part of the system itself so it can't be upgraded independently of the OS.

---

Here are a few debugging methods that can be used in situations like this:

# This command can be used to print information that includes the
# python package tags your system supports:
pip debug --verbose

# Example output:
...
Compatible tags: 689
  cp311-cp311-manylinux_2_27_x86_64
  cp311-cp311-manylinux_2_26_x86_64
  cp311-cp311-manylinux_2_25_x86_64
  cp311-cp311-manylinux_2_24_x86_64
  cp311-cp311-manylinux_2_23_x86_64
...

Another useful one is installing packages verbosely. This output is helpful because it tells you exactly what packages were skipped for installation and why:

pip install -vvv piper-phonemize

# Sample output:
...
Fetched page https://pypi.org/simple/piper-phonemize/ as application/vnd.pypi.simple.v1+json
  Skipping link: none of the wheel's tags (cp310-cp310-manylinux_2_28_aarch64) are compatible (run pip debug --verbose to show compatible tags): https://files.pythonhosted.org/packages/41/e8/ae6a5f5d23b7f35d29927bedc796e50d9c41ff03a2e3267100bdaeb3ba09/piper_phonemize-1.0.0-cp310-cp310-manylinux_2_28_aarch64.whl (from https://pypi.org/simple/piper-phonemize/) (requires-python:>=3.7)
...

The easiest way to check what version of glibc your system has installed is to run:

ldd --version

# Example output from my old Raspberry Pi where installs where failing:
ldd (Ubuntu GLIBC 2.27-3ubuntu1.6) 2.27

The python version can also be helpful to check:

python3 --version
# Python 3.7.3

The last note I'll include is that you can look up what glibc versions come with each OS release. You can check what OS version you have available by running lsb_release -a and it should return some sort of output like this:

No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Raspbian
Description:    Raspbian GNU/Linux 10 (buster)
Release:        10
Codename:       buster

These are the python and glibc versions that a few common linux distros will have:

OS	Python	glibc
Debian 12 (bookworm)	3.11	2.36
Debian 11 (bullseye)	3.9	2.31
Debian 10 (buster)	3.7	2.28
Ubuntu 20.04	3.8	2.31
Ubuntu 18.04	3.6	2.27

More for debian versions (Raspberry Pi OS will match these):

• https://wiki.debian.org/Python

---

In the cases I ran into while testing this on different systems I found that generally either my Python version was too old or my glibc version was outdated. After upgrading my Raspberry Pi from buster to bookworm I can confirm that the installation was successful:

pip install piper-tts

Successfully installed numpy-2.1.0 onnxruntime-1.19.0 piper-tts-1.2.0

I suspect one way to add support for a wider range of linux distros might be to add a build arg to the piper-phonemize build https://github.com/rhasspy/piper-phonemize/blob/master/Dockerfile#L1 so that distributions older than debian bullseye can be used. But that being said, glibc compatibility is not just something that effects piper-tts - its has widespread effects across the software development community and ecosystem (https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/203375 for example). It might be better in the long run to direct people towards the path of upgrading so they can also benefit from the availability of newer python and OS versions.

[sbussard]

There are still commits flowing in, so I wouldn't throw in the towel just yet unless there's a more compelling alternative.

It's frustrating to deal with this after upgrading ubuntu. Python environment anxiety ranks high on my list of things I hate dealing with. Hopefully the pipe team will see this as CRITICAL issue to fix.

[miranda]

One solution here in case it helps anyone is upgrading your OS version.

This advice seems to be opposite of that is going on in my experience. I have to use an old version of Python (3.10.12) in order to get it work, anything newer doesn't seem to work. Anyone on an Arch-based or other rolling release distro is already going to have the newest packages, and downgrading is your only hope... if you are lucky and it works for you.

[Rust1667]

same issue, Python 3.12.6, Arch Linux. Using gtts-cli instead, which isn't great but does the job I guess for now. edit: now I'm also using piper with Python 3.11 through docker. Very complicated but thankfully there is AI to help with it.

[sogaiu]

As an additional data point regarding python versions, etc., building a non-system install of python 3.10.15 (so just have it live under $HOME somewhere) and using that worked here on Ubuntu 24.04.01.

Less paranoid folks might just go for using uv (^^;

Here are 2 ways to I used to install using pip, first with conda:

second with Docker/Podman:

cat <<EOF> containerfile

RUN pip install piper-tts
ENTRYPOINT ["/usr/local/bin/piper"]
EOF
podman build -t piper -f containerfile
echo "Welcome to the world of speech synthesis" | podman run --rm -i -v ~/Downloads:/piper piper -m /piper/en_US-hfc_male-medium.onnx --output-raw | aplay -r 22050 -f S16_LE -c 1  -t raw -

This method does not overcome the dependencies conflict and throws the same error. piper-tts fails to load.
