I have been having trouble finding a fix for getting PyAudio installed on my machine. I have tried a few different solutions and i do have the prerequisite library "portaudio" installed using homebrew. I have also looked for solutions to the gcc error that appears at the bottom of the output and to which solutions only generated a different error that read "Error: command ‘clang’ failed with exit status 1". I feel at this point it is some lack of understanding of the implications of these error messages due to a lack of experience in python that keeps me from understanding a resolution. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

$ sudo apt-get install portaudio19-dev python-all-dev
$ pip3 install pyaudio
That is all, if failed again, do this before pip3
$ sudo apt install libasound-dev portaudio19-dev libportaudio2 libportaudiocpp0 ffmpeg libav-tools

I know this question is old but
If you're on MacOs
brew update
brew install portaudio
brew link --overwrite portaudio

I tried to use this command and it works from the Anaconda prompt:
conda install PyAudio`
You can also use:
pip install pipwin
pipwin install pyaudio
This doesn't use anaconda, just pip.
