// run it

Run it yourself

  1. Clone the repository

    Start by getting the source and entering the project directory.

    git clone https://github.com/CorentinJ/Real-Time-Voice-Cloning.git
    cd Real-Time-Voice-Cloning
  2. Install with uv

    The README now drives everything through uv; install uv first if needed.

    pip install -U uv
  3. Run the toolbox

    Launch the GUI toolbox with the CUDA or CPU extra depending on your hardware.
