Welcome to the Gradio setup.

1. First and foremost, please install ffmpeg in your system, just for precaution since we are working with videos.
2. Install the dependencies available on file requirements.txt. It could be done with

pip install -r requirements.txt

inside the Conda environment.
3. Next, please checkout setup.sh shell file. If you are able to execute the shell file, it will download the checkpoint in correct path.
- Else:
- Create a folder named checkpoints
- Download https://cloud.tsinghua.edu.cn/f/da8d61d012014b12a9e4/?dl=1 inside checkpoints and rename it as vox.pth.tar
4. Run app_basic.py or app.py
- app_basic.py is the basic Gradio GUI app which is more stable abnd simple.
- app.py is more experimental version which allows using webcam instead of / alongwith in both images and videos section. Also, to help in better logging of errors.
5. Find the local http endpoint [which will be printed on the screen], and also the remote link, which gives access as well [however the link is limited to 72 hours, and the app needs to be restarted to create a new link].
