ERROR: Cannot install openai-whisper==20230117 and openai-whisper==20230124 because these package versions have conflicting dependencies.

The conflict is caused by:
openai-whisper 20230124 depends on torch
openai-whisper 20230117 depends on torch

To fix this you could try to:

1. loosen the range of package versions you've specified
2. remove package versions to allow pip attempt to solve the dependency conflict

ERROR: Cannot install openai-whisper==20230117 and openai-whisper==20230124

Not sure why it is trying to install two versions of whisper. Have you tried
pip uninstall openai-whisper
pip install -vv "openai-whisper==20230124"

Please share the verbose log from the install if that doesn't work.

Is PyTorch absolutely required?
It’s available as C++ package, maybe it’s possible to use that instead.

[glangford]

There is a fork of whisper using C/C++, see here

• https://github.com/ggerganov/whisper.cpp#readme
• Build on FreeBSD ggml-org/whisper.cpp#56 (comment)

[scorpio1441]

whisper.cpp is what I'm switching from =)))

[glangford]

Ok then! :)
To answer your question then, this whisper absolutely requires PyTorch.

there now is a FreeBSD port: https://www.freshports.org/misc/py-pytorch/
