Dependencies

FAVE-extract has a few dependencies you'll need to install before you can use it. These are SoX, Praat, Python and the python package numpy. If you've already installed SoX for use with FAVE-align, there's no need to repeat those steps again. If you have Praat installed, but it's not in your path, you'll need to follow the directions linked below for your operating system. If you're not sure what "in your path" means, then you should probably review those directions.

Downloading FAVE-extract

There are a few ways to download FAVE-extract. First, you can download the most recent release as a .zip or .tar.gz here: https://github.com/JoFrhwld/FAVE/releases The most recent release should match what's in the master branch, or at least differ only nominally.

Alternatively, you can clone the whole repository using Git. If you're new to Git, GitHub has has some excellent getting started tutorials, and supporting software: https://help.github.com/articles/set-up-git

The code to clone FAVE is

git clone https://github.com/JoFrhwld/FAVE.git

The benefit to downloading FAVE this way is that to download any future updates, you'll just need to navigate to the directory and run

git pull origin master

and Git should automatically download the updates.

Installing FAVE

There is no further installation required for FAVE after the dependencies are installed, and the scripts are downloaded.
