## Documentation
See https://librosa.org/doc/ for a complete reference manual and introductory tutorials.
The [advanced example gallery](https://librosa.org/doc/latest/advanced.html) should give you a quick sense of the kinds
of things that librosa can do.

## Installation
### Using PyPI
The latest stable release is available on PyPI, and you can install it by saying
```
python -m pip install librosa
```
### Using Anaconda
Anaconda users can install using ```conda-forge```:
```
conda install -c conda-forge librosa
```
### Building from source
To build librosa from source, say
```
python setup.py build
```
Then, to install librosa, say
```
python setup.py install
```
If all went well, you should be able to execute the following commands from a python console:
```
import librosa
librosa.show_versions()
```
This should print out a description of your software environment, along with the installed versions of other packages used by librosa.
📝 OS X users should follow the installation guide given below.
Alternatively, you can download or clone the repository and use `pip` to handle dependencies:
```
unzip librosa.zip
python -m pip install -e librosa
```
or
```
git clone https://github.com/librosa/librosa.git
python -m pip install -e librosa
```
By calling `pip list` you should see `librosa` now as an installed package:
```
librosa (0.x.x, /path/to/librosa)
```

### Hints for the Installation
`librosa` uses `soundfile` and `audioread` to load audio files.
📝 Note that older releases of `soundfile` (prior to 0.11) do not support MP3, which will cause librosa to fall back on the `audioread` library.
### `soundfile`
If you're using `conda` to install librosa, then audio encoding dependencies will be handled automatically.
If you're using `pip` on a Linux environment, you may need to install `libsndfile`
manually. Please refer to the [SoundFile installation documentation](https://pysoundfile.readthedocs.io/#installation) for details.
### `audioread` and MP3 support
To fuel `audioread` with more audio-decoding power (e.g., for reading MP3 files),
you may need to install either *ffmpeg* or *GStreamer*.
📝*Note that on some platforms, `audioread` needs at least one of the programs to work properly.*
If you are using Anaconda, install *ffmpeg* by calling
```
conda install -c conda-forge ffmpeg
```
If you are not using Anaconda, here are some common commands for different operating systems:
- #### Linux (`apt-get`):
```
apt-get install ffmpeg
```
or
```
apt-get install gstreamer1.0-plugins-base gstreamer1.0-plugins-ugly
```
- #### Linux (`yum`):
```
yum install ffmpeg
```
or
```
yum install gstreamer1.0-plugins-base gstreamer1.0-plugins-ugly
```
- #### Mac:
```
brew install ffmpeg
```
or
```
brew install gstreamer
```
- #### Windows:
download ffmpeg binaries from this [website](https://www.gyan.dev/ffmpeg/builds/) or gstreamer binaries from this [website](https://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/)
For GStreamer, you also need to install the Python bindings with
```
python -m pip install pygobject
```

## Citing
If you want to cite librosa in a scholarly work, there are two ways to do it.
- If you are using the library for your work, for the sake of reproducibility, please cite
the version you used as indexed at Zenodo:
[](https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.591533)
- If you wish to cite librosa for its design, motivation, etc., please cite the paper
published at SciPy 2015:
McFee, Brian, Colin Raffel, Dawen Liang, Daniel PW Ellis, Matt McVicar, Eric Battenberg, and Oriol Nieto. "librosa: Audio and music signal analysis in python." In Proceedings of the 14th python in science conference, pp. 18-25. 2015.
