how to install Ta-lib with python 3.11 in Windows?

Question

TA-Lib windows distribution from here https://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#ta-lib, but only support to 3.10. How to install Ta-lib with python 3.11 in Windows?

Instructions from the README for installing on Windows:

Download ta-lib-0.4.0-msvc.zip and unzip to C:\ta-lib.

This is a 32-bit binary release. If you want to use 64-bit Python, you will need to build a 64-bit version of the library. Some unofficial (and unsupported) instructions for building on 64-bit Windows 10, here for reference:

1. Download and Unzip ta-lib-0.4.0-msvc.zip
2. Move the Unzipped Folder ta-lib to C:\
3. Download and Install Visual Studio Community (2015 or later)
   • Remember to Select [Visual C++] Feature
4. Build TA-Lib Library
   • From Windows Start Menu, Start [VS2015 x64 Native Tools Command Prompt]
   • Move to C:\ta-lib\c\make\cdr\win32\msvc
   • Build the Library nmake

But then:

ERROR: Failed building wheel for TA-Lib
Failed to build TA-Lib
ERROR: Could not build wheels for TA-Lib, which is required to install pyproject.toml-based projects

Answer 1

The only solution that worked for me is this: https://github.com/afnhsn/TA-Lib_x64

1. Download "ta-lib x64.zip" from github above. Extract zip file to C:\, so it looks like this C:\ta-lib
2. Download Visual C++ build tools 2022: https://aka.ms/vs/17/release/vs_buildtools.exe
3. Install Visual C++ build tools: https://stackoverflow.com/a/54136652/10997732
4. Install ta-lib: pip install ta-lib

Answer 2

You have to find the correct wheel file for TA-Lib and Python 3.11. I currently am trying to find the same file. 3.10 is the latest I have seen

Answer 3

This works

python3 -m pip install TA-Lib

Answer 4

It should be noted that installing a wheel made for an older Python version (e.g. 3.10), but the correct architecture (e.g. win64) is probably going to work for you. This can be done using pip install <path to .whl file>. The main downside of this approach is that the prebuilt wheel you're using could be somewhat outdated.

Here's what I did to build it myself on a "clean" system:

1. Install the following 3 components from the VS2022 installer:

2. Follow the instructions for building using nmake quoted in the OP. [src]

3. pip install TA-Lib

If you don't want to do any of that, I've uploaded my built wheel here.
