libsndfile (Linux only)

BirdVoxClassify depends on the PySoundFile module to load audio files, which itself depends on the non-Python library libsndfile. On Windows and Mac OS X, these will be installed automatically via the pip package manager and you can therefore skip this step. However, on Linux, libsndfile must be installed manually via your platform’s package manager. For Debian-based distributions (such as Ubuntu), this can be done by simply running

apt-get install libsndfile

For more detailed information, please consult the installation instructions of pysoundfile.

Note about TensorFlow:

We have dropped support for Tensorflow 1.x, and have moved to Tensorflow 2.x.
