Installing

Should work for any version of python following 3.9.

1. Install espeak

Install espeak, free text-to-speak (TTS) software, to ‘sound out’ unknown words.

Mac
- First, install homebrew if not already installed.
- ```
 brew install espeak
```

Linux

 apt-get install espeak libespeak1 libespeak-dev

Windows
- Download and install from github

2. Install python>=3.9

You will need to install Python version 3.9 or newer. If you don’t have one, you can:

Use pyenv to manage and install python versions.
1. To install pyenv:
```
curl pyenv.run | bash
```
2. To install and activate a version of python:
```
pyenv install 3.12
pyenv shell 3.12
```
3. Then (if you want) create a local environment:
```
python -m venv venv
. venv/bin/activate
```
Or use conda to do the same.
1. To install, follow these instructions for a command-line install or these for a graphical install.
2. Then create an environment:
```
conda create -n "prosodic" python=3.12 -y
conda activate prosodic
```

3. Install prosodic

Install via pip:

pip install git+https://github.com/quadrismegistus/prosodic@develop

Test to see if it works:
