I am trying to install MaryTTS 5.2 on Ubuntu 16.04. There is a guide on for 5.1.2 here . However, 5.2 is way different, and I do not understand the installation guide on their GitHub page.

The first command fails when executed inside the unpacked 5.2 folder:

marytts install:cmu-slt
--->marytts: command not found

Can someone please help?

Looks like just changing the file version to the current stable version would allow you to follow the other questions answer, see MaryTTS download page. Essentially; download the updated Web Installer Package, change directory cd /home/<username>/Downloads/marytts-installer-5.2, run the web installer package ./marytts

If You run into problems try running ./marytts with either --info or --debug. To get either info or debug level logs. For additional information see the README.md in the install package.

  • patients until the process throws a useful error or finishes. Or re-run the process with more verbosity, if that is possible. – J. Starnes Nov 29 '17 at 02:45
  • I re-run and it gets stuck at 0%. I suppose I have to delete everything and redo from the start? – CaTx Nov 29 '17 at 02:46
  • @CaTx see second paragraph in edited answer. If the info or debug level logs are not sufficient try running bash -x ./marytts. – J. Starnes Nov 29 '17 at 03:09
  • Starners, it's still stuck at 75%. – CaTx Dec 12 '17 at 23:45
  • Could you add the output of ./marytts --debug or the output of bash -x ./marytts – J. Starnes Dec 13 '17 at 00:24
  • The debug has so many things. This is bash output: – CaTx Dec 13 '17 at 00:50
  • ....... MARY server 5.2 starting as a HTTP server... Port 59125 already in use! .......

    • What went wrong:

    Execution failed for task ':server'.

    Process 'command '/usr/local/java/jdk1.8.0_152/bin/java'' finished with non-zero exit value 1

  • That is after a successful installation and the server running. – CaTx Dec 13 '17 at 00:53
  • Do you need me to remove everything, and redo the failed build? – CaTx Dec 13 '17 at 00:53
  • If it is working no. If you are curious we could keep poking it. – J. Starnes Dec 13 '17 at 00:55
  • I am very new to Linux. The way things are installed are much different from Windows. Can you explain to me why things are sometimes done this way instead of sudo apt-get? – CaTx Dec 13 '17 at 22:21
  • It is mostly due to the project maintainer not wanting to package their project as a deb. second no community users have packaged the project as a deb. Packaging is a significant challenge, and the more distros you package for the harder it gets. It is much easier to write an installer script that works most of the time. – J. Starnes Dec 13 '17 at 22:36
  • Thanks. I will remove MaryTTS later, and walk thru the process with you. Wanna be Linux proficient. – CaTx Dec 14 '17 at 22:53

I finally got it partially working following this link . sudo su is also needed. Afterwards, I follow this link to use it.

One little thing: the sample command uses DE as language, and it errors out on my computer though DE is listed locally . I switched the command to en_US , and it works. More to be done until everything is sorted out, but for now I am happy. Thank you very much, @J. Starnes.
