Hello! How do I use python embedded 3.10 with your application? Let's say the folder with python embedded files is located in the F5-TTS folder after cloning using git. How do I declare an environment variable for your application? Thnx

To use Python Embedded 3.10 with an application and set it up with the environment variable pointing to the embedded Python interpreter, follow these steps:

1. Download and Clone Python Embedded 3.10:

Assuming you have already cloned the embedded Python files into a folder named F5-TTS, make sure the folder contains Python 3.10 binaries (python.exe or pythonw.exe) and all necessary libraries.

2. Set Environment Variables:

You need to declare environment variables to ensure your application uses the Python interpreter located in the F5-TTS folder. This can be done by configuring the PYTHONHOME and PYTHONPATH variables.

Windows:

Steps to Set Environment Variables in Windows:

1. Press Win + X and select System.

2. Click Advanced System Settings on the left side of the window.

3. In the System Properties window, click on the Environment Variables button.

4. Under System variables, click New to add a new environment variable.

   • Variable name: PYTHONHOME
   • Variable value: Full path to your F5-TTS folder, e.g., C:\path\to\F5-TTS

5. Add another variable for PYTHONPATH:

   • Variable name: PYTHONPATH
   • Variable value: C:\path\to\F5-TTS\Lib (adjust for your folder structure).

6. Add the Python embedded folder to the PATH variable:

   • Find the Path variable under System variables, select it, and click Edit.
   • Add the full path to the folder containing python.exe, e.g., C:\path\to\F5-TTS.

7. Click OK to save the changes.

Linux/Mac:

Steps to Set Environment Variables in Linux or macOS:

1. Open the terminal.
2. Edit your shell configuration file (.bashrc, .zshrc, or .bash_profile) depending on the shell you are using.
3. Add the following lines to export the environment variables:

export PYTHONHOME=/path/to/F5-TTS
export PYTHONPATH=/path/to/F5-TTS/Lib
export PATH=$PYTHONHOME:$PATH

4. Save the file and reload your shell using:

source ~/.bashrc    # For bash
source ~/.zshrc     # For zsh

3. Test the Setup:

To verify that the environment is set up correctly, open a terminal or command prompt and type:

python --version

It should display Python 3.10.x indicating that the embedded Python is being used.

Now, your application should be able to use Python 3.10 from the F5-TTS folder. If your application requires further configuration (like specifying the interpreter path), make sure it points to the python.exe located in your F5-TTS folder.

Hello, thanks for the advice, but that's not what I asked. How do I declare the python 3.10 environment only for the application, and not for the entire operating system?
