Question :
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:UsersWaaberi>python -m pip install PyAudio

The second way is entering this command:
python pip install python-pyaudio
and it does nothing.
Answer #1:
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 --versionmine is3.7.3for example - the easiest way to check either you have 64 or 32 Python just open it in the terminal:
- find the appropriate
.whlfile from here, for example mine isPyAudio?0.2.11?cp37?cp37m?win_amd64.whl, and download it. - go to the folder where it is downloaded for example
cd C:UsersfoobarDownloads - install the
.whlfile withpipfor example in my case:
pip install PyAudio-0.2.11-cp37-cp37m-win_amd64.whl
Answer #2:
First run your IDE or CMD as Administrator and run the following:
pip install pipwin
pipwin install pyaudio
Answer #3:
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.
Answer #4:
Use Conda instead of pip.
It works perfectly
conda install PyAudio
Answer #5:
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

Answer #6:
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.
Answer #7:
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 “
Answer #8:
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
