cd Core

set up virtual environment and install requirements

python3 -m venv env

on Linux/Mac run source env/bin/activate

or on Windows run env\Scripts\activate.bat

-Make sure pip is up to date via python -m pip install --upgrade pip

On windows, a manual download of PyAudio may be required. To do this, go to https://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#pyaudio and download the version that corresponds to your version of Python. (Example: Python 3.9 64-bit is equivalent to PyAudi-0.2.11-cp39-cp39-win_amd64.whl) Once downloaded, open the command line at the .whl file's directory and type: pip install _______.whl

(...If using a mac, pyaudio may not install correctly without portaudio.) (To install portaudio on mac, first install homebrew with ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)) (This may require your password twice.) (after that, use run brew install portaudio)

pip install pywin32

Now, install the rest of the requirements

pip install -r requirements.txt

Two additional downloads are needed

python3 -m spacy download en_core_web_sm
