无法在 windows 上的 VScode 3.8.5 中安装 pyaudio

Question

I try to install pyaudio on windows using pip from a wheel package as follow:

pip install PyAudio-0.2.11-cp38-cp38m-win_amd64.whl

unfortunately it raise an error as presented below. The error message tells that my pyaudio wheel unable to be founded.

WARNING: Requirement 'PyAudio‑0.2.11‑cp38‑cp38m‑win_amd64.whl' looks like a filename, but the file 
does not exist
ERROR: PyAudio‑0.2.11‑cp38‑cp38m‑win_amd64.whl is not a valid wheel filename.

What should I do to solve this issue and install pyaudio correctly?

Answer 1

The error message was raised due to pip unable to locate the wheel file. Try to specify a full path such as:

pip install D:/../<file_name>.whl

or move your wheel file to the same directory as your pip.
