## 🚀 Quick start (Binaries - recommended for most devices)
> Before starting: you may face incompatibility issues with this method if your GPU is very new (e.g. RTX 50 series). I am working on it. In the meanwhile feel free to try alternative installation methods which may be more stable for different devices.

### Requirements
- `ffmpeg` installed and added to PATH. See instructions for [Windows](https://phoenixnap.com/kb/ffmpeg-windows) or [Linux](https://phoenixnap.com/kb/install-ffmpeg-ubuntu).

Download the corresponding binary files from the [**Releases**](https://github.com/Pikurrot/whisper-gui/releases) page.

Your transcriptions will be saved by default in the `outputs` folder of the repository.

> **Note**: Binaries are in ***alpha*** stage.  
> **Not yet available**: macOS and AMD GPU builds. Use the alternative installation methods.

## 🛠️ Alternative Installation Methods
### Requirements
- [Anaconda](https://docs.anaconda.com/free/anaconda/install/) or [Miniconda](https://docs.conda.io/projects/miniconda/en/latest/) installed and `conda` added to PATH.
- `git` installed and added to PATH. See [instructions](https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Getting-Started-Installing-Git).
- `ffmpeg` installed and added to PATH. See instructions for [Windows](https://phoenixnap.com/kb/ffmpeg-windows), [Linux](https://phoenixnap.com/kb/install-ffmpeg-ubuntu) or [macOS](https://phoenixnap.com/kb/ffmpeg-mac).

### 1. Interactive Wizard (stable)
In **Windows**, run the `whisper-gui.bat` file.  
In **Linux / macOS** run the `whisper-gui.sh` file.  
Follow the instructions and let the script install the necessary dependencies. After the process, it will run the GUI in a new browser tab.

To run the program every time, you can just run the same `whisper-gui.bat` or `whisper-gui.sh` (whatever your OS), which will also automatically check for updates of this repository.

### 2. Manual — Advanced Users
- **Create a conda environment with Python 3.10**  
	```bash
	conda create --name whisperx python=3.10
	conda activate whisperx
	```
- **Install PyTorch 2.0**  
	For macOS:  
	```bash
	conda install pytorch::pytorch==2.0.0 torchaudio==2.0.0 -c pytorch
	```
	For Windows or Linux, if you have Nvidia GPU:  
	```bash
	conda install pytorch==2.0.0 torchaudio==2.0.0 pytorch-cuda=11.8 -c pytorch -c nvidia

	For Linux, if you have AMD GPU:  
	```bash
	pip install torch==2.0.0 torchaudio==2.0.0 --index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/rocm6.0`
	```
	If not, install for CPU:
