Bark is a transformer-based text-to-audio model that generates highly
realistic, multilingual speech as well as other audio (music, background
noise, simple sound effects). This snap provides the bark command-line
interface. Models (~2-3 GB) are downloaded from Hugging Face on first use.
This snap is not endorsed by Suno Inc.
Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.
Snaps are discoverable and installable from the Snap Store, an app store with an audience of millions.
For versions of Ubuntu between 14.04 LTS (Trusty Tahr) and 15.10 (Wily Werewolf), as well as Ubuntu flavours that don’t include snap by default, snap can be installed from the Ubuntu Software Centre by searching for snapd.
Alternatively, snapd can be installed from the command line:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install snapd
Either log out and back in again, or restart your system, to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly.
