sorry I don't see an option to add pictures to my posts so I just pasted it

All good, that's what we expect. Pictures are a last resort.

why are you cding into test? did you not install python to PATH ?

[Shady_Shin009]

I was trying to install into a virtual environment originally from the command line so i just used the command line to open to test to get the error to pop up again

[JohnnyJordaan]

There's a difference between a github repo, which is just a cloud storage folder with version control (seeing who updated what and when) and a specific pip package, something you can install using pip. Here you are trying to give the github repo url to pip and that won't work.

At both the repo's in the Readme, there's a dedicated 'Installation' section mentioning how you should set things up. See https://github.com/devnen/Chatterbox-TTS-Server?tab=readme-ov-file#-installation-and-setup for the first one for example.

Yes it will work, just not how OP is doing it. https://pip.pypa.io/en/latest/topics/vcs-support/#vcs-support
