Installation

Prerequisites

• Python >= 3.9

• FFTW3 development headers

• A C compiler (gcc or clang)

Install FFTW3 for your platform:

Ubuntu / Debian

sudo apt install libfftw3-dev

macOS (Homebrew)

brew install fftw

Fedora / RHEL

sudo dnf install fftw-devel

Installing from PyPI (pre-built wheels)

pip install pyminidsp

Pre-built wheels include the compiled C extension and bundled FFTW3 library, so no C compiler or FFTW3 headers are needed.

Installing from source

# Clone the miniDSP C library
git clone https://github.com/wooters/miniDSP.git

# Install pyminidsp (set MINIDSP_SRC to point to the C library)
MINIDSP_SRC=./miniDSP pip install .
