**NVIDIA NeMo**
===============

Introduction
------------

NVIDIA NeMo is a conversational AI toolkit built for researchers working on automatic speech recognition (ASR), natural language processing (NLP), and text-to-speech synthesis (TTS).
The primary objective of NeMo is to help researchers from industry and academia to reuse prior work (code and pretrained models and make it easier to create new `conversational AI models <https://developer.nvidia.com/conversational-ai#started>`_.

Installation
------------

Pip
~~~
Use this installation mode if you want the latest released version.

.. code-block:: bash

    apt-get update && apt-get install -y libsndfile1 ffmpeg
    pip install Cython
    pip install nemo_toolkit['all']

Pip from source
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Use this installation mode if you want the a version from particular GitHub branch (e.g main).

.. code-block:: bash

    apt-get update && apt-get install -y libsndfile1 ffmpeg
    pip install Cython
    python -m pip install git+https://github.com/NVIDIA/NeMo.git@{BRANCH}#egg=nemo_toolkit[all]


From source
~~~~~~~~~~~
Use this installation mode if you are contributing to NeMo.

.. code-block:: bash

    apt-get update && apt-get install -y libsndfile1 ffmpeg
    git clone https://github.com/NVIDIA/NeMo
    cd NeMo
    ./reinstall.sh

Docker containers:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

If you chose to work with main branch, we recommend using NVIDIA's PyTorch container version 21.05-py3 and then installing from GitHub.

.. code-block:: bash

    docker run --gpus all -it --rm -v <nemo_github_folder>:/NeMo --shm-size=8g \
    -p 8888:8888 -p 6006:6006 --ulimit memlock=-1 --ulimit \
    stack=67108864 --device=/dev/snd nvcr.io/nvidia/pytorch:21.05-py3
