I have a windows 10 pc and i want to install pyaudio to use it with my chatbot, powered by chatterbot, i try with 2 different ways to install pyaudio.
The way is in writing on command prompt
python -m pip install PyAudio
That is the result:
C:\Users\Waaberi>python -m pip install PyAudio

The second way i try is in writing:
python pip install python-pyaudio
It does nothing.
Can you help me,
Thanks!!
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:
- find your Python version by
python --version
mine is 3.7.3
for example
- the easiest way to check either you have 64 or 32 Python just open it in the terminal:
- find the appropriate
.whl
file from here, for example mine is PyAudio‑0.2.11‑cp37‑cp37m‑win_amd64.whl
, and download it.
- go to the folder where it is downloaded for example
cd C:\Users\foobar\Downloads
- install the
.whl
file with pip
for example in my case:
pip install PyAudio-0.2.11-cp37-cp37m-win_amd64.whl
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.
First run your IDE or CMD as Administrator and run the following:
pip install pipwin
pipwin 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.
But for this to be run on command prompt you must have PYTHONPATH environment variable set of anaconda.
You should install python 3.6 version because python 3.7 version doesnot 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 "
I had the same issue but solved it by using Ubuntu.
1. python -m pip install pyaudio
2. Install sudo, apt-get and then install homebrew &/ linuxbrew on your linux subsystem using Ubuntu.
3. The latest version supports ubuntu.
4. brew install portaudio
5. Make sure you have python/python3 installed on the terminal
6. Make sure the current location is added as path in your virtual computer's path in environment Variable.
7. brew link portaudio
Hopefully, this will work, worked for me...
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.
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.
