ICan't Do Anything With Pip because it won't install anything

Question

Any time i try to install anything with pip i would get this type of error. I've updated my computer, updated visual studios, pip 20.0.2, python 3.8.2, and still nothing works, I've even tried reinstalling everything.

Did you try running the pip install from the command line and not visual studio? — Jortega, Apr 23 '20 at 20:27

It's not a duplicate because that issue was on OSX with brew, and this person is on Windows and is not using brew. — Robert Hafner, Apr 23 '20 at 20:31
Jortega, I have tried it from visual studios, cmd, and the pycharm terminals. — Chris, Apr 23 '20 at 20:41

i had to share it as a question because no matter how i formatted it 'stack overflow' didn't like it and i couldn't send this question. — Chris, Apr 23 '20 at 21:23
@Chris, download and install the `whl` file. Simply download `PyAudio‑0.2.11‑cp38‑cp38‑win_amd64.whl` from [here](https://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#pyaudio) and then do `pip install path/to/PyAudio‑0.2.11‑cp38‑cp38‑win_amd64.whl` — FlyingTeller, Apr 23 '20 at 21:38

You need to install PortAudio on your system to use one of the libraries you're trying to install.
