Having trouble installing PyAudio for Python3 on Mint

To install the latest version of pyaudio using conda:

source activate -your environment name-pip install pyaudio

You may run into the following error when installing from pip:

src/_portaudiomodule.c:29:23: fatal error: portaudio.h: No such file or directory #include "portaudio.h"  compilation terminated. error: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1

That is because you don't have the PortAudio development package installed. Install it with:

sudo apt-get install portaudio19-dev

You don't need to compile pyaudio. To install PyAudio, run:

$ sudo add-apt-repository universe$ sudo apt-get install python-pyaudio python3-pyaudio

The first command enables Universe Ubuntu repository.

If you want to compile it e.g., to use the latest version from git; install build dependencies:

$ sudo apt-get build-dep python-pyaudio python3-pyaudio

After that, you could install it from sources using pip:

$ python3 -mpip install pyaudio

Or to install the current version from git:

$ pip install -e git+http://people.csail.mit.edu/hubert/git/pyaudio.git#egg=pyaudio

Run pip commands inside a virtualenv or add --user command-line option, to avoid modifying the global python3 installation (leave it to the package manager).

I've tested it on Ubuntu. Let me know if it fails on Mint.

I have found the work arround for mac.

• export HOMEBREW_NO_ENV_FILTERING=1
