brew install portaudio

Then:

brew link portaudio

pip install pyAudio

Or if you are using windows:

Go to: https://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#pyaudio

Download the file and then go to its directory in the cmd and type:

For win 32 bit:

pip install PyAudio‑0.2.11‑cp37‑cp37m‑win32.whl

For win 64 bit:

pip install PyAudio‑0.2.11‑cp38‑cp38‑win_amd64.whl
