Answer 1

brew install portaudio

Then:

brew link portaudio

pip install pyAudio

Or if you are using windows:

Go to: https://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#pyaudio

Download the file and then go to its directory in the cmd and type:

For win 32 bit:

pip install PyAudio‑0.2.11‑cp37‑cp37m‑win32.whl

For win 64 bit:

pip install PyAudio‑0.2.11‑cp38‑cp38‑win_amd64.whl

Answer 2

For windows- https://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#pyaudio

press ctrl + f and search pyaudio and scroll down

Download any version of this if you are using 64 bit-

PyAudio‑0.2.11‑cp39‑cp39‑win_amd64.whl

or download any version of this if you are using 32 bit -

PyAudio‑0.2.11‑cp39‑cp39‑win32.whl

go to the file location of the downloaded file and press Shift + Right click

select open command window here then copy the file name and paste like pip install "file name" for eg-

pip install PyAudio‑0.2.11‑cp39‑cp39‑win_amd64.whl

Answer 3

If you are working on Ubunutu/Linux try below. It worked for me

sudo apt-get install portaudio19-dev
pip install pyaudio

Answer 4

You have to download the pyAudio file manually and put it in a directory and cd to the same directory and run the given command.

Answer 5

I had the same issue and fixed it using pipwin :

pip install pipwin
pipwin install pyaudio
