Leokani for Linux and Raspberry Pi

The leokani command on 64-bit Linux with glibc 2.28 or later: Debian 11 or later, Ubuntu 20.04 or later, Fedora, or Raspberry Pi OS 64-bit on a Pi 3, 4, 5 or Zero 2 W. Offline.

Install

Intel or AMD PC:

curl -O https://milliwattlabs.com/models/leokani-tts/downloads/Leokani-CLI-1.1-linux-x86_64.tar.gz
tar xf Leokani-CLI-1.1-linux-x86_64.tar.gz
cd Leokani-CLI-1.1-linux-x86_64
./install.sh

Raspberry Pi or another 64-bit ARM computer:

curl -O https://milliwattlabs.com/models/leokani-tts/downloads/Leokani-CLI-1.1-linux-aarch64.tar.gz
tar xf Leokani-CLI-1.1-linux-aarch64.tar.gz
cd Leokani-CLI-1.1-linux-aarch64
./install.sh

That installs ~/.local/bin/leokani. ./install.sh --system installs /usr/local/bin/leokani for every user instead. bin/leokani also runs from the unpacked folder without installing.

Speak

leokani "Hello! I'm Leokani." -o hello.wav
leokani "Hello there." --play
cat notes.txt | leokani -o - | aplay

All options are on the Command line page.

MCP server

claude mcp add leokani -- ~/.local/bin/leokani mcp

For another MCP client, the command is /home/YOU/.local/bin/leokani with the argument mcp.

Uninstall

rm -rf ~/.local/bin/leokani ~/.local/share/leokani ~/.local/lib/leokani

After --system: sudo rm -rf /usr/local/bin/leokani /usr/local/share/leokani /usr/local/lib/leokani.
