| Install PortAudio |
| +++++++++++++++++ |
| |
| Install `PortAudio`_. This is required by the `PyAudio`_ library to stream |
| audio from your computer's microphone. PyAudio depends on PortAudio for cross-platform compatibility, and is installed differently depending on the |
| platform. |
| |
| * For Mac OS X, you can use `Homebrew`_:: |
| |
| brew install portaudio |
| |
| **Note**: if you encounter an error when running `pip install` that indicates |
| it can't find `portaudio.h`, try running `pip install` with the following |
| flags:: |
| |
| pip install --global-option='build_ext' \ |
| --global-option='-I/usr/local/include' \ |
| --global-option='-L/usr/local/lib' \ |
| pyaudio |
| |
| * For Debian / Ubuntu Linux:: |
| |
| apt-get install portaudio19-dev python-all-dev |
| |
| * Windows may work without having to install PortAudio explicitly (it will get |
| installed with PyAudio). |
| |
| For more details, see the `PyAudio installation`_ page. |
