ERROR: Command errored out with exit status 1 while installing pyaudio

Question

After doing pip install pyaudio, It started collecting the package but suddenly it displayed this error. Hope the following explains what's going on:

https://people.csail.mit.edu/hubert/pyaudio/docs/#id9 states that the platform is Mac OS X only — Thomas, Apr 18 '20 at 15:41
Does this answer your question? [Python package installation issues: PyAudio, PortAudio](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/51992375/python-package-installation-issues-pyaudio-portaudio) — AMC, Apr 19 '20 at 00:45
It seems that [PyAudio on PyPi](https://pypi.org/project/PyAudio/) hasn't been updated in a while, same thing on the webpage which @PNX shared. — AMC, Apr 19 '20 at 00:48
instead of all this i can also use .whl file for installing pyaudio irrespective of my windows version......@AMC — mayank choudhary, Apr 19 '20 at 08:46
my https://pypi.org/project/PyAudio/ is already updated @AMC — mayank choudhary, May 06 '20 at 11:24

brew install portaudio

Then:

brew link portaudio

pip install pyAudio

Or if you are using windows:

Go to: https://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#pyaudio

Download the file and then go to its directory in the cmd and type:

For win 32 bit:

pip install PyAudio‑0.2.11‑cp37‑cp37m‑win32.whl

For win 64 bit:

pip install PyAudio‑0.2.11‑cp38‑cp38‑win_amd64.whl

Are you using windows? I added another way to my solution, which one did not work for you? – Mahsa Hassankashi Apr 18 '20 at 15:43
ERROR: PyAudio‑0.2.11‑cp37‑cp37m‑win32.whl is not a valid wheel filename........this error comes out – mayank choudhary Apr 18 '20 at 15:44
If you are using win 64 please download 64 ones – Mahsa Hassankashi Apr 18 '20 at 15:45
For example: PyAudio‑0.2.11‑cp38‑cp38‑win_amd64.whl – Mahsa Hassankashi Apr 18 '20 at 15:45

For windows- https://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#pyaudio

press ctrl + f and search pyaudio and scroll down

Download any version of this if you are using 64 bit-

PyAudio‑0.2.11‑cp39‑cp39‑win_amd64.whl

or download any version of this if you are using 32 bit -

PyAudio‑0.2.11‑cp39‑cp39‑win32.whl

go to the file location of the downloaded file and press Shift + Right click

select open command window here then copy the file name and paste like pip install "file name" for e.g-

pip install PyAudio‑0.2.11‑cp39‑cp39‑win_amd64.whl

If you are working on Ubunutu/Linux try below. It worked for me

sudo apt-get install portaudio19-dev
pip install pyaudio

You have to download the pyAudio file manually and put it in a directory and cd to the same directory and run the given command.

pip install pipwin
pipwin install pyaudio
