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.

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

Answer 9 · 2024-07-15T06:22:02.000Z

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).

Answer 17 · 2024-08-13T04:45:53.000Z

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.

Answer 19 · 2024-09-01T18:14:42.000Z

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 (microsoft/vscode#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.

Answer 20 · 2024-09-02T13:18:40.000Z

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.

Answer 21 · 2024-09-10T15:55:31.000Z

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.

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

conda create -n py310-piper python=3.10 -y
conda run -n py310-piper pip install piper-tts

second with Docker/Podman:

cat <<EOF> containerfile
FROM python:3.10-slim
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 -

ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement piper-phonemize (from versions: none) ERROR: No matching distribution found for piper-phonemize
I tried specifying the version number: pip install piper-phonemize==1.1.0
And pip install https://github.com/rhasspy/piper-phonemize.git
And downloading the .tar.gz file and doing this: pip install C:\piper-phonemize-2023.11.14-4.tar.gz
None of that worked.

I have installed it successfully on a Rpi4B:

Os 64-bit Lite, on the 32-bit version, didn't work.

Python 3.11.2 (sudo apt install python3.11)
glibc 2.36
OS: 64bit

DO NOT INSTALL ON 32-bit system!

Answer 28 · 2024-10-24T14:44:09.000Z

Same windows11 Python 3.11.9 The conflict is caused by:
piper-tts 1.2.0 depends on piper-phonemize~=1.1.0
piper-tts 1.1.0 depends on piper-phonemize~=1.0.0

To fix this you could try to:

loosen the range of package versions you've specified
remove package versions to allow pip to attempt to solve the dependency conflict

Answer 29 · 2024-11-14T16:42:22.000Z

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.

I used these steps to accomplish this:
sudo apt update
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:deadsnakes/ppa
sudo apt install python3.10
sudo apt install python3.10-venv
python3.10 -m venv piper
source /piper/bin/activate
python -m pip install pip==24.0
pip install piper-tts

I hope this helps anyone else with the issue!

I was able to install it on Raspberry Pi 5 with just the pip install piper-tts
Pi5 has Python 3.11.2

I was not able to install it on a Windows 10 PC with Python 3.12, same dependency conflict error reported above.

for those willing to use uv, this works well:

uv tool install --python 3.11 piper-tts==1.2.0

Answer 34 · 2024-12-05T19:22:18.000Z

From what I've looked at, this error is caused by the absence of a wheel build for python3.12 of piper-phenomize manylinux. And maybe piper-tts too, but I don't think pip gets that far.

Since this is the version shipped with ubuntu 24.04 (among others) this problem is now extremely common. And rhasspy hasn't issued a fix. This project might be dead, and in need of a new maintainer.

I haven't figured out how to build an updated wheel file, but HERE Someone has, and made one available. Which is now a 404 error - thanks linkrot.

Other solutions may include downgrading python to 3.11, (which doesn't work for me) installing a previous version of your OS (which I'm not going to try) and restarting with a clean environment.

The incantation for downgrading python should be "pip install python==3.11" though that didn't work for me. In theory, maybe conda works better than pip in managing python versions? Worth trying maybe.

Hopefully I'll be able to build one eventually, and post it here, but no promises. If it's not here yet, you're more than welcome to build it yourself. If you do so successfully, PLEASE post it here so I don't have to figure out more of this crap.

FWIW, the impression I get is that 3.10 is more likely to work.

Answer 36 · 2024-12-12T09:58:54.000Z

Hello Guys I faced with the same problems, so piper-phonemize for some reasons is not avaiable on pip distribution repo, so need to install alone before to install piper-tts. here the link where can be found the *.whl files.
https://pypi.org/project/piper-phonemize/#files
choose the *whl file right for your system and -> pip install *.whl.
After -> pip install piper-tts and all will go without problems.

Answer 37 · 2024-12-12T21:53:03.000Z

https://pypi.org/project/piper-phonemize/#files choose the *whl file right for your system

Alas, the only 3.12 compatible build is for macos for some reason. (Presumably this is the source of this whole issue.)

Answer 38 · 2024-12-13T01:50:59.000Z

I was able to get piper-tts installed on the latest Ubuntu LTS under python3.12 by simply downloading an older version of the project from github and changing one line of the Dockerfile to compile a python 3.12 version. Here are the exact commands I issued in order (since it builds with docker, this should be fairly independent of your particular environ?). I did these as a regular user, not root. You will need to have docker-buildx installed and your user must be in the docker group:

git clone https://github.com/rhasspy/piper-phonemize.git

```
cd piper-phonemize
```

git checkout 20554f24f807146fcf183f4a22ac10e9f24c9f45     # Last checkin with 1.1.0 tag?

vi Dockerfile                                             # Add (it's obvious where): /opt/python/cp312-cp312/bin/pip wheel . && \

docker buildx build . -t piper-phonemize --output 'type=local,dest=dist'

```
cd dist
```

pip install piper_phonemize-1.1.0-cp312-cp312-manylinux_2_28_x86_64.whl

```
pip install piper-tts
```
