I have a Windows 10 PC and I want to install pyaudio to use it with my chatbot, powered by chatterbot.
I tried 2 different ways to install pyaudio.
The first way is doing this on the command prompt:
python -m pip install PyAudio
This is the result:
C:\Users\Waaberi>python -m pip install PyAudio

The second way is entering this command:
python pip install python-pyaudio
and it does nothing.
This question is related to

pyaudio
The answer by Agalin is already great and I just want to explain it in a step by step format for a novice like myself:
python --version
mine is 3.7.3
for example.whl
file from here, for example mine is PyAudio-0.2.11-cp37-cp37m-win_amd64.whl
, and download it.cd C:\Users\foobar\Downloads
.whl
file with pip
for example in my case:pip install PyAudio-0.2.11-cp37-cp37m-win_amd64.whl
First run your IDE or CMD as Administrator and run the following:
pip install pipwin
pipwin install pyaudio
There is no wheel (prebuilt package) for Python 3.7 on Windows (there is one for Python 2.7 and 3.4 up to 3.6) so you need to prepare build environment on your PC to use this package. Easier would be finding the wheel for 3.7 as some packages are quite hard to build on Windows.
Christoph Gohlke (University of California) hosts Windows wheels for most popular packages for nearly all modern Python versions, including latest PyAudio. You can find it here: https://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/ (download can be quite slow). After download, just type pip install <downloaded file here>
.
There is no difference between python -m pip install
, and pip install
as long as you're using default installation settings and single python installation. python pip
actually tries to run file pip
in the current directory.
Edit. See the pipwin
comment for automated way of using Mr Goblke's libs . Note that I've not used it myself and I'm not sure about selecting different package flavors like vanilla and mkl versions of numpy
.
Use Conda
instead of pip
.
It works perfectly
conda install PyAudio
you may need to try
pip install --upgrade setuptools
you may also need to install Visual Studio 2015, and remember to choose to install Visual C++ 14.0 https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/visual-cpp-build-tools/
If you have anaconda install than you just need to use command: conda install PyAudio
.
In order to execute this command you must set thePYTHONPATH
environment variable in anaconda.
You should install python 3.6 version because python 3.7 version doesn't support pyaudio
1 step : Then download the .whl file
according to your python version and the configuration of your machine in your python folder which is newly installed. For me it is python 3.6 and 64 bit machine. Download the file from here
(https://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/)
2 step : run your cmd and type " pip install your downloaded file name here "
The problem is pyaudio does not have wheels for python 3.7 just try some lower version like 3.6
then install pyaudio
It works
You should just install python 3.6. I tried it and it worked. Just install that version of python and just do the normal download process (pip install pyaudio
).
I have got the same error as :
error: Microsoft Visual C++ 14.0 is required. Get it with "Microsoft Visual C++ Build Tools": https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/downloads/
As, said by @Agaline, i download the outside wheel from this Christoph Gohlke.
If your is Python 3.7
then try to PyAudio-0.2.11-cp37-cp37m-win_amd64.whl
and use command as, go to the download directroy and:
pip install PyAudio-0.2.11-cp37-cp37m-win_amd64.whl
and it works.
Seems PyAudio is supported by Python 2.7, 3.4, 3.5, and 3.6. Refer https://people.csail.mit.edu/hubert/pyaudio/
Please suggest if there is any alternate way to install PyAudio on Python 3.8.2
If you are using Python 3.7.3 and Windows 10 64-bit machine then try the following command. Go to the download folder and Install following command:
pip install PyAudio-0.2.11-cp37-cp37m-win_amd64.whl
and it should work.
I had the same issue but solved it by using Ubuntu.
python -m pip install pyaudio
brew install portaudio
brew link portaudio
