Install

Install the necessary system packages:

sudo apt-get install libespeak-ng1

On 32-bit ARM platforms (a.k.a. armv7l or armhf), you will also need some extra libraries:

sudo apt-get install libatomic1 libgomp1 libatlas-base-dev

install the TTS plugin in Mycroft:

pip install ovos-tts-plugin-mimic3[all]

Removing [all] will install support for English only.

Additional language support can be selectively installed by replacing all with a two-character language code, such as de (German) or fr (French). See setup.py for an up-to-date list of language codes.
