Install the NVIDIA Riva Python Client

Interacting with NVIDIA Speech NIM microservices requires the following components: the Riva Python client package and the Riva Python client repository.

• Riva Python Client Package on PyPI

  A Python package that provides the riva.client library. This library handles gRPC communication with the NIM, including authentication, audio encoding, and request/response serialization. Install the package using the following command:

  pip install -U nvidia-riva-client
  

• Riva Python Client Repository on GitHub

  The open-source repository of the client that also provides a collection of ready-to-use scripts. The scripts import the riva.client library for communicating with the Speech NIM microservices for tasks such as audio transcription, translation, and text-to-speech. Clone the repository using the following command:

  git clone https://github.com/nvidia-riva/python-clients.git
