+You'll need a model package (Zip file, includes TTS Python wheel, model files, server configuration, and optional nginx/uwsgi configs). Publicly available models are listed [here](https://github.com/mozilla/TTS/wiki/Released-Models#simple-packaging---self-contained-package-that-runs-an-http-api-for-a-pre-trained-tts-model).
 
 Instructions below are based on a Ubuntu 18.04 machine, but it should be simple to adapt the package names to other distros if needed. Python 3.6 is recommended, as some of the dependencies' versions predate Python 3.7 and will force building from source, which requires extra dependencies and is not guaranteed to work.

+#### Creating a server package with an embedded model
+
+[setup.py](../setup.py) was extended with two new parameters when running the `bdist_wheel` command:
+
+- `--checkpoint <path to checkpoint file>` - path to model checkpoint file you want to embed in the package
+- `--model_config <path to config.json file>` - path to corresponding config.json file for the checkpoint
+
+To create a package, run `python setup.py bdist_wheel --checkpoint /path/to/checkpoint --model_config /path/to/config.json`.
+
+A Python `.whl` file will be created in the `dist/` folder with the checkpoint and config embedded in it.
