Trying to install pyaudio (pip, conda, pyaudio, portaudio...)

emasesnepo

With Windows 10 21H2 and OpenSesame 3.3.11 Megapack I'm trying to install pyaudio.

Looking in documentation and forum I see different versions of how to to install a module with a command in the Console window.

pip install pyaudio

!pip install pyaudio

import pip
pip.main(["install", "pyaudio"])

conda install pyaudio

!conda install pyaudio

All of these commands fail in one way or another but before going further I'd like to know what is a good way to start. Could someone tell me the good first step?

Hi,

import pip
pip.main(["install", "pyaudio"])

Is outdated, it works, but it is overly complicated.

!conda install pyaudio

Should only work if you have installed the megapack and run this from inside Opensesame (the debug window).

conda install pyaudio

Same as the previous one, but typed in a regular console.

The pips behave like the condas, only that a different repository is used, and should also work even if you installed via the installer (rather than conda).

That being said, they all could/should work in principle. Which one is (slightly) better depends on your setup. So if it does not work, something is wrong. Can you share error messages maybe?
