aubio-python

This repository is providing a compiled version of aubio-python, the Python module for aubio, which is not installed with the installation of the aubio package that's in the official Termux repository.

This program was entirely built within Termux on my ARMv8 (aarch64/arm64) phone.

After many attempts of trying to install from pip didn't bear fruit, I've tried using proot-distro environments (which worked with pip), but my goal was to have it working in a vanilla Termux environment. This build is based on release (v.0.5.0a0) from the Git repo, instead of the one from pypi's v.0.4.9 one.

installation

It is pretty easy: just extract the tar.gz archive, but make a folder first to unpack.

Assuming that you're in the home folder, make a new directory using mkdir yourfoldername, then for extraction you can use: tar -xf aubio-python-aarch64.tar.gz -C ./yourfoldername.

The extracted folder matches the layout of the Termux prefix for ease of use.

To make everything easy, it is recommended to use mc (Midnight Commander) to copy over the files, just remember to not go back from the com.termux/files folder (which has /home and /usr in it).

After copying the files to their own directories, you can try launching aubio by simply typing ./aubio, which would launch the program.

troubleshooting

• If you see a message from tar saying that ... not found in archive, use either the -C ./foldername or --directory /path/to/folder option to extract to a folder.
• If you see a message saying ModuleNotFoundError: No module named aubio, investigate if aubio and aubiocut has "executable" permissions, you can test it by going to /usr/bin then invoking ./aubio. If bash: aubio : Permission denied is the message you get, use chmod +x ./aubio and that should fix the issue.

If you're still experiencing the same message, go to /usr/lib/python3.11/site-packages/aubio and repeat chmod +x on all the .py files and the .so file in the directory.

note

If all done, you should have proper access to the program. However, note that you still need to source numpy (dependency for aubio) from either the official Termux repo or installing numpy from pip using MATHLIB="m" pip install numpy.
