I'm trying to install TA-Lib on Python, i'm using a x64 version so i can't install Ta-Lib using pip. I'm following these steps to run it but i have not clear the step 4: "Build the library nmake". I have opened the prompt but i don't really know how to build nmake, can anyone help me?

I faced the same problem and [posted an answer on this SO question](https://stackoverflow.com/a/49864010/2655263). – Kevin Fichter Apr 16 '18 at 18:30

in your env, run command: python --version, so you will know you python version. then download the appropriate wheel. if it is python 3.6, then download TA_Lib-0.4.15-cp36-cp36m-win_amd64.whl

nmake is the make version of the Microsoft Compiler Collection. You probably don't have Visual Studio installed.
See here:
You have several precompiled packages, including ta-lib

I installed visual studio, i was running the VS prompt. After downloading the precompiled package, should i put it on my python 3.6 folder and run pip3 install ta-lib? – Sile Jan 14 '18 at 16:24

Visual Studio was therefore not on your path. You can put the package anywhere. `pip install packagename` will take care of installing it to the right folder – mementum Jan 14 '18 at 19:56

So, i downloaded the file and tried `pip install TA_Lib-0.4.15-cp37-cp37m-win_amd64.whl`, it didn't work, the error i get is `Requirement 'TA_Lib-0.4.15-cp37-cp37m-win_amd64.whl' looks like a filename, but the file does not exist TA_Lib-0.4.15-cp37-cp37m-win_amd64.whl is not a supported wheel on this platform.` – Sile Jan 14 '18 at 20:08

If you are on Python `3.6` and download the wheel for Python `3.7`, the installation is likely to fail – mementum Jan 14 '18 at 20:44

I did not see that, sorry, i'm so stupid lol. Anyway, i used the same command with the right version and it didn't work either – Sile Jan 14 '18 at 22:30
