Can't install pyaudio on python 3.8.10

Question

I'm on windows 10 wsl2, python 3.8.10, and I tried installing pyaudio and portaudio via pip and pipwin3, which didn't work. Then I installed portaudio from the website. After I tried this. I used this instead though since portaudio was in my working directory: pip install --global-option='build_ext' --global-option='-I/portaudio/include' --global-option='-L/baili/local/lib' pyaudio

Got this error now:

Defaulting to user installation because normal site-packages is not writeable
WARNING: Implying --no-binary=:all: due to the presence of --build-option / --global-option / --install-option. Consider using --config-settings for more flexibility.
DEPRECATION: --no-binary currently disables reading from the cache of locally built wheels. In the future --no-binary will not influence the wheel cache. pip 23.1 will enforce this behaviour change. A possible replacement is to use the --no-cache-dir option. You can use the flag --use-feature=no-binary-enable-wheel-cache to test the upcoming behaviour.

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

I'm lost right now, if you have a link to the pyaudio file it'd be cool, or a fix to this thanks

pipwin, pip, pip3, website

pip install PyAudio‑0.2.11‑cp37‑cp37m‑win_amd64.whl

Answer 1

I found the answer to be quite simple:

conda install -c anaconda pyaudio

this also made me realize that I forgot to put conda in my sys environment variables :P
