Unable to Download Model in tts-deploy.ipynb Example – Please Reupload or Update Instructions

Hi NVIDIA Riva Team,

I'm currently following the TTS deployment example in your official tutorials repository:

🔗 https://github.com/nvidia-riva/tutorials/blob/main/tts-deploy.ipynb

Unfortunately, the notebook is no longer functional due to the model not being downloadable. Specifically, the following step fails:

bash
Copy
Edit
riva-model-downloader --task text-to-speech
The model download fails with an error, and no model is actually retrieved. It appears that the required models might have been removed or relocated.

📌 Request
Please reupload the missing TTS model to the appropriate location, or

Update the example notebook with correct download instructions or alternative model paths.

🧪 Environment

Notebook: tts-deploy.ipynb from the main branch

Let me know if logs or error outputs are needed — happy to provide them. Thank you for maintaining this great project!

Best regards,

Open tts-deploy.ipynb and run the documented riva-model-downloader --task text-to-speech step to reproduce the failed download. Check the notebook's current model-download instructions and related paths; the work is done when the required TTS model can be retrieved and the example proceeds using the updated instructions or location.
