Answer 1

You can use the command to install :

brew install portaudio

Then use the command:

brew link portaudio

pip install pyAudio

If you are using windows then click on the link below:

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

and download the file. Go to the directory and click on cmd then type the below command if 32 bit :

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

For 64 bit:

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

I hope this will help you.
