Setup uv

Using UV to run directly

1. Install prerequisites:

   • Install astral-uv

   • You may also have to install espeak on your system manually

   • Clone the repository:

     git clone https://github.com/remsky/Kokoro-FastAPI.git
     cd Kokoro-FastAPI
     
     # if you are missing any models, run:
     # python ../scripts/download_model.py --type pth  # for GPU
     # python ../scripts/download_model.py --type onnx # for CPU

     Start directly via UV (with hot-reload)

     ./start-cpu.sh OR
     ./start-gpu.sh
