Answer 1

The reason that you cant install Pyaudio is your python version, the last version of python that support Pyaudio is python 3.6 So you have to install python 3.6 or 3.5 or 3.4 or python 2.7. after installing python 3.6 use this link and download pyaudio.whl according to your os. then use this command to install it:

pip install <package_name>.whl

Answer 2

To install the latest version of pyaudio using conda:

source activate -your environment name-
pip install pyaudio

If you encounter PortAudio development package error, install it with

sudo apt-get install portaudio19-dev
