Before installing AllTalk, ensure you have the following prerequisites:

1. Git for cloning GitHub repositories. Installation instructions

2. Microsoft C++ Build Tools and Windows SDK for proper Python functionality. Installation instructions

3. Espeak-ng for multiple TTS engines to function. Installation instructions

DeepSpeed for Windows will be installed automatically on a Standalone installation when using the atsetup.bat utility. Text-generation-webui users can select a version to install from within the atsetup.bat utility.

Should you have a requirement to install DeepSpeed manually into a separate Python environment, you can follow the below instructions.

Note: It's recommended to confirm AllTalk works without DeepSpeed before installation.

The current DeepSpeed build is compatible with:

• PyTorch 2.2.1
• Python 3.11.x

For versions supporting PyTorch 2.1.x, please check the main releases page.

To check your CUDA version within Text-generation-webui:

1. Run cmd_windows.bat
2. Execute:
   • python --version (for Python version)
   • pip show torch (for CUDA version)

Important: You DO NOT need to set Text-generation-webUI's --deepspeed setting for AllTalk to use DeepSpeed. These are separate functionalities, and incorrectly setting this in Text-generation-webUI may cause complications.
