Installation

pypi

The simplest way to install carat is through the Python Package Index (PyPI). This will ensure that all required dependencies are fulfilled. This can be achieved by executing the following command:

pip install carat

or:

sudo pip install carat

to install system-wide, or:

pip install -u carat

to install just for your own user.

Source

If you’ve downloaded the archive manually from the releases page, you can install using the setuptools script:

tar xzf carat-VERSION.tar.gz
cd carat-VERSION/
python setup.py install

If you intend to develop librosa or make changes to the source code, you can install with pip install -e to link to your actively developed source tree:

tar xzf carat-VERSION.tar.gz
cd carat-VERSION/
pip install -e .

Alternately, the latest development version can be installed via pip:

pip install git+https://github.com/mrocamora/carat

ffmpeg

To fuel audioread with more audio-decoding power, you can install ffmpeg which ships with many audio decoders. Note that conda users on Linux and OSX will have this installed by default; Windows users must install ffmpeg separately.

OSX users can use homebrew to install ffmpeg by calling brew install ffmpeg or get a binary version from their website https://www.ffmpeg.org.
