Install TA-lib issue || .whl is not a valid wheel filename, || looks like a filename, but the file does not exist

I am having trouble installing a wheel file via pip.

I am using Windows 11 and my python version : 3.12.0 I downloaded "TA_Lib-0.4.24-cp310-cp310-cp310-win_amd64.whl" because I couldn't find the file in my version and I get an error when I try to install it.

I open my command prompt write the following in the prompt

C:\Users\Gokhan>pip install TA_Lib‑0.4.24‑cp310‑cp310‑win_amd64.whl

Then I get this message:

WARNING: Requirement 'TA_Lib‑0.4.24‑cp310‑cp310‑win_amd64.whl' looks like a filename, but the file does not exist
ERROR: TA_Lib‑0.4.24‑cp310‑cp310‑win_amd64.whl is not a valid wheel filename.

I don't know what to do, and I need your help.

I tried to do it by downloading many different versions, but I got the same error every time.

Then when I run "C:\Users\Gokhan>pip install ta-lib" in my terminal despite this error:

  note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip.

I got this problem.

Solution

According to PyPi To use TA-Lib for python, you need to have the TA-Lib already installed. To install on your windows PC:

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:

Download and Unzip ta-lib-0.4.0-msvc.zip
Move the Unzipped Folder ta-lib to C:\
Download and Install Visual Studio Community 2015 or later (Remember to Select [Visual C++] Feature)
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) You might also try these unofficial windows binaries for both 32-bit and 64-bit: https://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#ta-lib

For pip install TA-Lib, please note that the supported programming Languages are: Cython, Python 2.7, 3.3 - 3.11. Your python version (3.12.0) is not currently supported. Please see PyPi for more information.
