## ⚒️ Installation
### Download the Codes

```bash

  git clone https://github.com/antgroup/echomimic_v2

  cd echomimic_v2

```

### Python Environment Setup

- Tested System Environment: Centos 7.2/Ubuntu 22.04, Cuda >= 11.7
- Tested GPUs: A100(80G) / RTX4090D (24G) / V100(16G)
- Tested Python Version: 3.8 / 3.10 / 3.11

Create conda environment (Recommended):

```bash

  conda create -n echomimic python=3.10

  conda activate echomimic

```

Install packages with `pip`
```bash

  pip install pip -U

  pip install torch==2.5.1 torchvision==0.20.1 torchaudio==2.5.1 xformers==0.0.28.post3 --index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu124

  pip install torchao --index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/nightly/cu124

  pip install -r requirements.txt

  pip install --no-deps facenet_pytorch==2.6.0

```

### Download ffmpeg-static
Download and decompress [ffmpeg-static](https://www.johnvansickle.com/ffmpeg/old-releases/ffmpeg-4.4-amd64-static.tar.xz), then
```

export FFMPEG_PATH=/path/to/ffmpeg-4.4-amd64-static

```

### Download pretrained weights

```shell

git lfs install

git clone https://huggingface.co/BadToBest/EchoMimicV2 pretrained_weights

```

The **pretrained_weights** is organized as follows.



```

./pretrained_weights/

├── denoising_unet.pth

├── reference_unet.pth

├── motion_module.pth

├── pose_encoder.pth

├── sd-vae-ft-mse

│   └── ...

├── sd-image-variations-diffusers

│   └── ...

└── audio_processor

    └── tiny.pt

```



In which **denoising_unet.pth** / **reference_unet.pth** / **motion_module.pth** / **pose_encoder.pth** are the main checkpoints of **EchoMimic**. Other models in this hub can be also downloaded from it's original hub, thanks to their brilliant works:

- [sd-vae-ft-mse](https://huggingface.co/stabilityai/sd-vae-ft-mse)

- [sd-image-variations-diffusers](https://huggingface.co/lambdalabs/sd-image-variations-diffusers)

- [audio_processor(whisper)](https://openaipublic.azureedge.net/main/whisper/models/65147644a518d12f04e32d6f3b26facc3f8dd46e5390956a9424a650c0ce22b9/tiny.pt)



### Inference on Demo 

Run the gradio:

```bash

python app.py

```

Run the python inference script:

```bash

python infer.py --config='./configs/prompts/infer.yaml'

```



### EMTD Dataset

Download dataset:

```bash

python ./EMTD_dataset/download.py

```

Slice dataset:

```bash

bash ./EMTD_dataset/slice.sh

```

Process dataset:

```bash

python ./EMTD_dataset/preprocess.py

```
