 This is a snapshot of `f22819cb8718ead5e50dea4fdbd05195c72fb1a8` (branch `origin/4.0`). It was taken
 from justinjohn0306's fork at https://github.com/justinjohn0306/so-vits-svc

+Dev Installation
+----------------
+
+Use our `requirements.txt` instead of the original `upstream-requirements-but-broken.txt`
+
+Installing this may give you trouble. Brandon had trouble under Python3.10, so downgraded to Python 3.9
+using the deadsnakes PPA. Furthermore, the version of pyworld originally specified refused to build;
+upgrading to the latest point release fixed it.
+
+`pyworld==0.2.5` -> `pyworld==0.2.12`
+
+tl;dr: 
+
+- Python3.9
+- pyworld 0.2.12
