Hello, i'm a total linux noob and before asking the same question again i tried to install numen as described in a tutorial i found on the mailing list and reddit. Whenever i run numen i get the following error:

numen: error while loading shared libraries: libvosok.so cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

When i ran the commands to install numen, everything said it was "Installed successfully". I don't really understand what i did wrong, i would really appreciate any help.

Hi Faux,

I'm not sure why that is happening. The install has changed a little
over time so I would stick to the steps on https://git.sr.ht/~geb/numen
first and foremost.

Running:

    ./get-vosk.sh && sudo ./get-vosk.sh install

should have installed libvosk.so in the /usr/lib directory.
(It doesn't hurt to re-run the commands.)

You could verify whether the file is there by running:

    ls -l /usr/lib/libvosk.so

The output I get is:

    -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 7604328 May  6  2024 /usr/lib/libvosk.so

If it is there already, there's a chance running this might help:

    sudo ldconfig

Otherwise I don't know what's up I'm afraid.

Hope you get it working,
John
