I'm using mac osx 10.10 As the PyAudio Homepage said, I install the PyAudio using
brew install portaudio
pip install pyaudio
the installation of portaudio seems successful, I can find headers and libs in /usr/local/include and /usr/local/lib but when I try to install pyaudio, it gives me an error that
src/_portaudiomodule.c:29:10: fatal error: 'portaudio.h' file not found
#include "portaudio.h"
^
1 error generated.
error: command 'cc' failed with exit status 1
actually it is in /usr/local/include why can't it find the file? some answers to similar questions are not working for me(like using virtualenv, or compile it manually), and I want to find a simple way to solve this.
Since pyAudio
has portAudio
as a dependency, you first have to install portaudio.
#for Mac
brew install portaudio
Then try: pip install pyAudio
. If the problem persists after installing portAudio
, you can specify the directory path where the compiler will be able to find the source programs (e.g: portaudio.h
). Since the headers should be in the /usr/local/include
directory:
pip install --global-option='build_ext' --global-option='-I/usr/local/include' --global-option='-L/usr/local/lib' pyaudio
