Close and re-open Terminal. Try again or with the full path

/usr/local/bin/edge-tts --voice en-US-AvaNeural -f ~/Desktop/textfile.txt --write-media ~/Desktop/textfile.mp3

If you installed it without sudo, run:

~/Library/Python/3.9/bin/edge-tts --voice en-US-AvaNeural -f ~/Desktop/textfile.txt --write-media ~/Desktop/textfile.mp3

I get this error:

no such file or directory: /usr/local/bin/edge-tts

How can I check what I've installed and where it's gone?

I don't see Edge in the application list.

It doesn’t install Edge or anything in Applications.

The executable edge-tts should be in /usr/local/bin/ and the additional packages in /Library/Python/3.9/site-packages

What messages do you see when you run:

sudo pip3 install edge-tts

I can't find the executable edge-tts.🤔 When I go to user, I don't see a 'local' folder anyway.

When I run sudo pip3 install edge-tts something is installed and it's in the place you said.

 

[stanleystf]

I think edge-tts has not been installed and can't find it anywhere.

There was an error in the first command, -- was replaced by –

xcode-select --install
