I am trying to install TA-Lib with the following command in the terminal.

pip install TA-Lib

Unfortunatley, I got the following error message:

Building wheel for TA-Lib (setup.py) ... error
ERROR: Command errored out with exit status 1......

Many thanks in advance for your help !

Follow TA-Lib author "mrjbq7"'s full instructions here: https://github.com/mrjbq7/ta-lib

You'll first download the built file from author, download and install VS community for the x64 command prompt tool, rebuild library, then finally install TA-Lib.

  1. Download ta-lib-0.4.0-msvc.zip from http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/ta-lib/ta-lib-0.4.0-msvc.zip and unzip to C:\ta-lib

TA-Lib is a 32 bit release and you might be running on a 64-bit python. So follow the instructions to build TA-Lib on 64-bit and rebuild the library.

  1. Download and Install Visual Studio Community 20XX Remember to Select [Visual C++] Feature
  2. From Windows Start Menu, Start [VS20XX x64 Native Tools Command Prompt]
  3. Go to directory: C:\ta-lib\c\make\cdr\win32\msvc
  4. Build the Library in command prompt with this command: nmake

Now try installing again: pip install TA-Lib
