Can't pip install pyAudio in conda environment (MAC)

Question

I am using a conda enviroment on mac and I want to install pyAudio. I tried to follow the suggestion in many threads to run

brew install portaudio

r

pip install --global-option='build_ext' --global-option='-I/usr/local/include' --global-option='-L/usr/local/lib' pyaudio

But it still didn't work from within the conda enviroment. However, running

pip install --global-option='build_ext' --global-option='-I/usr/local/include' --global-option='-L/usr/local/lib' pyaudio 

worked outside of the conda enviroemtn (in the "base" enviroemtn").

What might be the reason? How can I install pyAudio inside the conda enviroment?

Try conda install -c anaconda pyaudio
