So, I was looking for some voice recognition project and I need to use the PyAudio lib, but, when installing it in Windows I just receive some erros of installation.
The method of installation that I'm using is:
pip install pyaudio
When I execute the command in cmd the result is:
command: 'c:\users\pedro\virtualenvs\pyjarvis\scripts\python.exe' -u -c 'import io, os, sys, setuptools, tokenize; sys.argv[0] = '"'"'C:\\Users\\pedro\\AppData\\Local\\Temp\\pip-install-tbw4bc33\\pyaudio_3d715acd64eb45979bf989d5585f978d\\setup.py'"'"'; __file__='"'"'C:\\Users\\pedro\\AppData\\Local\\Temp\\pip-install-tbw4bc33\\pyaudio_3d715acd64eb45979bf989d5585f978d\\setup.py'"'"';f = getattr(tokenize, '"'"'open'"'"', open)(__file__) if os.path.exists(__file__) else io.StringIO('"'"'from setuptools import setup; setup()'"'"');code = f.read().replace('"'"'\r\n'"'"', '"'"'\n'"'"');f.close();exec(compile(code, __file__, '"'"'exec'"'"'))' bdist_wheel -d 'C:\Users\pedro\AppData\Local\Temp\pip-wheel-9omziclx'

That's the problem, what should I do?
Though the error says error: Microsoft Visual C++ 14.0 or greater is required. You can try installing the unofficial python binary for pyaudio from here.
Note - Install the wheel package in accordance of your system and python version.
For example if your system is of 64 bit and you running python 3.9.x then you will have to install PyAudio‑0.2.11‑cp39‑cp39‑win_amd64.whl
After you're done with the installation open up your terminal and navigate to the folder where the wheel package is installed, then enter the following command
pip install your_wheel_package_name.whl
