sndfile library not found after importing librosa

[Ikteaja Hasan]

 Hello there,

Currently i am doing master's thesis on acoustic sound detection using Machine learning. Therefore ,I need librosa module for extracting feature from audio signals.I have installed librosa in an anaconda environment. I have installed librosa by using this command: "conda install -c conda-forge librosa"

it has been installed successfully.But when i am importing in jupyter notebook it is raising the above mentioned error(OSError: sndfile library not found).

I am a ssh client(windows pc). Accessing the jupyter notebook from a remote server from ML environment.

I would be really thankful for any kind of suggestions or help.

Hello,

can you please try
pip install soundfile

Sincerely,

Vincent.

I believe Vincent wanted you to use pip install, not conda :-)

Remember, conda-forge is a conda collection maintained by the community, not by the anaconda people. conda-forge should only be used, when the official repos doesn't have the file, e.g. in the case with librosa.

However it seems like the official repo does have it? https://anaconda.org/conda-forge/pysoundfile

So you should be able to write, with your conda environment active of course, "conda install pysoundfile".

But, otherwise just do pip install soundfile" as Vincent suggested (or maybe even start with pip, since that's the first thing Vincent mentioned, and he might have more experience with it).

I believe I wrote "conda install pysoundfile" ;-) However I see it doesn't work. Now I've fiddled around, and what you REALLY need to write is:

"conda install pysoundfile -c conda-forge"

:-)

Librosa uses a few C-something libraries, that Linux systems might not have preinstalled. If you're

I thought I was smart with the white text, but it insists on making the link blue. Oh well.

Just to be sure, did you try what Vincent said? Otherwise, see my above post.

"pip install soundfile"
