PyAudio installation error Python 3 Visual Studio 2019

Question

pip install PyAudio

Throws an error saying:

error: command 'C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Microsoft Visual Studio\\2019\\Preview\\VC\\Tools\\MSVC\\14.20.27027\\bin\\HostX86\\x64\\cl.exe' failed with exit status 2

Please figure this out for me.

Answer 1

I had the same problem this worked for me

I downloaded pyaudio library form then in command prompt, I installed pyaudio giving path and downloaded file like

C:\\Users\\%user%\\Downloads>python -m pip install PyAudio-0.2.11-cp37-cp37m-win_amd64.whl

here i am assuming you downloaded pyaudio lib in C:\\Users\\%user%\\Downloads
