Failling to install ta-lib in Win11

I'm struggling to install ta-lib on my win11 machine. What should've been just a pip install ta-lib and 20 sec later all done, transformed into an endless sequence of errors. I managed to progess with some of them, but now I am stuck with this one and no idea how to move forward:

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

Does anyone know how to escape this?

Solution

According to PyPi, To use TA-Lib for python, you need to have the TA-Lib already installed. 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 the unofficial windows binaries for both 32-bit and 64-bit.
