| description | Install or repair the local mlx-audio tooling that pst's text-to-speech depends on (uv tool install + spaCy model). Use when the user runs "/pst:setup", is setting up pst for the first time, or when tts fails because mlx-audio / mlx_audio.tts.generate is missing or broken. |
pst Setup
One-time (idempotent) install of the on-device TTS engine that tts relies on.
Steps
-
Run the setup script. It ships with the plugin and is on the Bash PATH
while the plugin is enabled:
pst-setup
-
Report the outcome to the user based on how it exits:
- Success — tell them TTS is ready and they can try
/pst:tts or
tts "hello world".
uv is not installed — the script prints install instructions
(brew install uv, or the astral.sh installer). Relay those and tell them
to re-run /pst:setup once uv is available.
- Any other failure — show the error output; the install can be retried
by running
pst-setup again.
Notes
- Safe to re-run — it uses
uv tool install --force and re-downloads the spaCy
model, so it doubles as a repair command.
- Requires
uv and macOS on Apple Silicon.
- Always call
pst-setup rather than pasting the raw uv tool install command
by hand — the script pins the exact, tested flags (git-main source, the
no-phonemizer rule, the spaCy model step).
