### Resolving Python Version Compatibility Issues for Installing tts

If you encounter issues installing the tts package due to Python version incompatibilities, follow these steps to resolve the problem:

To avoid conflicts between the pre-installed & newly installed python versions make sure you are carrying out this process in an venv(virtual environment)

Steps to Install Python 3.9 and the tts Package

### For Ubuntu/Debian-based Systems:

1. First, ensure that the deadsnakes PPA is added to your system to get Python 3.9:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:deadsnakes/ppa
sudo apt update

Verify the Installation :

python3.9 --version

2.(Set Up a Virtual Environment)
Create a virtual environment using Python 3.9 to avoid conflicts with system packages:

python3.9 -m venv myenv

source myenv/bin/activate

3.Upgrade pip in virtual environment :

python -m pip install --upgrade pip

pip install tts

4.Verify the Installation :

pip show tts

NOTE ; ### If the above method shows error during the tts package installation using the pip command that means we have to reinstall the pip in that particular env for that simply add 2-3 lines of bash commands to your terminal :

sudo apt install --reinstall python3-apt
sudo apt install curl

curl https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py -o get-pip.py

python3.9 get-pip.py

pip install TTS

If shows a gentle warning about the Path variables of the pip , make some changes in your shell config file :

_You can access the Shell config file & make changes _ with the following commands :

nano ~/.bashrc
export PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH"
Apply the changes :

source ~/.bashrc
By installing Python 3.9 and creating a virtual environment, you ensure that the tts package can be installed and used without interfering with system-wide packages or encountering version conflicts. This method isolates the package environment, making it easier to manage dependencies and versions.
