# Getting Started with XCodec2 on Hugging Face

To use `xcodec2`, ensure you have it installed. You can install it using the following command:

```bash
conda create -n xcodec2 python=3.9
conda activate xcodec2
pip install xcodec2
```
Then,
```python
import torch
import soundfile as sf
from transformers import AutoConfig

 
from xcodec2.modeling_xcodec2 import XCodec2Model
 
model_path = "HKUST-Audio/xcodec2"  
 
model = XCodec2Model.from_pretrained(model_path)
model.eval().cuda()   

 
wav, sr = sf.read("test.wav")   
wav_tensor = torch.from_numpy(wav).float().unsqueeze(0)  

 
with torch.no_grad():
 
    vq_code = model.encode_code(input_waveform=wav_tensor)
    print("Code:", vq_code )   

    recon_wav = model.decode_code(vq_code).cpu()

 
sf.write("reconstructed.wav", recon_wav[0, 0, :].numpy(), sr)
print("Done! Check reconstructed.wav")
```
