I am attempting to make my own alexa and everytime I try to install pyaudio via the PyCharm terminal it comes up with this huge error:

How to solve this?

You need to install Microsoft Visual C++ 14.0 or greater.

Get it with "Microsoft C++ Build Tools": https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/visual-cpp-build-tools/

Just download and install those build tools, then try again.

When installing certain packages, certain MS tools are required to build them.

  • I did that, installed Visual Studio Installer and installed MS Development for C++, and it did not work. I believe it said 'Failed building wheel for pyaudio' – RajanSN78 Nov 21 '21 at 23:25
