I'm using mac osx 10.10
As the PyAudio Homepage said, I install the PyAudio using
brew install portaudio
pip install pyaudio
the installation of portaudio seems successful, I can find headers and libs in /usr/local/include and /usr/local/lib
but when I try to install pyaudio, it gives me an error that
src/_portaudiomodule.c:29:10: fatal error: 'portaudio.h' file not found
#include "portaudio.h"
^
1 error generated.
error: command 'cc' failed with exit status 1
actually it is in /usr/local/include
why can't it find the file?
some answers to similar questions are not working for me(like using virtualenv, or compile it manually), and I want to find a simple way to solve this.
Since pyAudio
has portAudio
as a dependency, you first have to install portaudio.
brew install portaudio
Then try: pip install pyAudio
. If the problem persists after installing portAudio
, you can specify the directory path where the compiler will be able to find the source programs (e.g: portaudio.h
). Since the headers should be in the /usr/local/include
directory:
pip install --global-option='build_ext' --global-option='-I/usr/local/include' --global-option='-L/usr/local/lib' pyaudio
On Raspbian:
sudo apt-get install python-pyaudio
You have to install portaudio first then link that file. Only then you can find that header file (i.e, portaudio.h). To install portaudio in mac by using HomeBrew
program use following commands.
brew install portaudio
sudo brew link portaudio
sudo pip install pyaudio
For me on 10.10.5 the paths were under /opt/local. I had to add /opt/local/bin to my /etc/paths file. And the command line that worked was
sudo pip install --global-option='build_ext' --global-option='-I/opt/local/include' --global-option='-L/opt/local/lib' pyaudio
on Centos:
yum install -y portaudio portaudio-devel && pip install pyaudio
On Ubuntu builds:
sudo apt-get install python-pyaudio
For Python3:
sudo apt-get install python3-pyaudio
Just for the record for folks using MacPorts and not Homebrew:
$ [sudo] port install portaudio
$ pip install pyaudio --global-option="build_ext" --global-option="-I/opt/local/include" --global-option="-L/opt/local/lib"
First you can use brew to install portaudio .
brew install portaudio
Then try to find the portaudio path
sudo find / -name "portaudio.h"
In my case it is /usr/local/Cellar/portaudio/19.6.0/include
.
Run the below to install pyaudio
pip install --global-option='build_ext' --global-option='-I/usr/local/Cellar/portaudio/19.6.0/include' --global-option='-L/usr/local/Cellar/portaudio/19.6.0/lib' pyaudio
