Installation

Setup Environment

1. Create a virtual environment:

   python -m venv .venv
   source .venv/bin/activate  # On Windows: .venv\Scripts\activate
   

2. Install the package:

   # Basic installation
   pip install -e .
   
   # With all development tools
   pip install -e ".[dev,gemini]"
   
   # Or from requirements files
   pip install -r requirements.txt
   pip install -r requirements-dev.txt  # For development
   

Prerequisites

1. Ensure you have FFmpeg installed (required by Whisper)

   • On macOS: brew install ffmpeg
   • On Ubuntu: sudo apt install ffmpeg
   • On Windows: Download from the official website or use chocolatey

2. For local LLM translation (optional):

   • Install llama.cpp and ensure llama is in your PATH

3. For Gemini translation:

   • Set GEMINI_API_KEY environment variable with your API key:

     export GEMINI_API_KEY=your_api_key_here
     

   • Uses the Gemini 2.0 Flash model for translations
