how can i add TTS with pyttsx3 if i need to install the espeak, ffmpeg, and libespeak1 deb pakegeges?

So I'm trying to add TTS, and I'm starting by adding the needed libraries in the com.jeffser.Alpaca.json file as I think it is the dependency management file. The pyttsx3 docs say I need to install espeak, ffmpeg, and libespeak1 packages as dependencies.

So I have a few questions.
Is the com.jeffser.Alpaca.json file dependency management? if not, what is?
How do I notate the requirement of deb packages?
This seems a bit overcomplicated, is there a better way?
Is there a place that has answerers?

Maybe I should use https://pypi.org/project/TTS/ instead of pyttsx3.

Hi, that's something I will work in the future, com.jeffser.Alpaca manages the flatpak dependencies, it can't use deb packages

I'm just going to use TTS
