Answer 1

Just for the record for folks using MacPorts and not Homebrew:

$ [sudo] port install portaudio
$ pip install pyaudio --global-option="build_ext"  --global-option="-I/opt/local/include" --global-option="-L/opt/local/lib"

Answer 2

First you can use brew to install portaudio .

brew install portaudio

Then try to find the portaudio path sudo find / -name "portaudio.h"

In my case it is /usr/local/Cellar/portaudio/19.6.0/include .

Run the below to install pyaudio

pip install --global-option='build_ext' --global-option='-I/usr/local/Cellar/portaudio/19.6.0/include' --global-option='-L/usr/local/Cellar/portaudio/19.6.0/lib' pyaudio

Answer 3

Since pyAudio has portAudio as a dependency, you first have to install portaudio.

brew install portaudio

Then try: pip install pyAudio. If the problem persists after installing portAudio, you can specify the directory path where the compiler will be able to find the source programs (e.g: portaudio.h). Since the headers should be in the /usr/local/include directory:

pip install --global-option='build_ext' --global-option='-I/usr/local/include' --global-option='-L/usr/local/lib' pyaudio

On Raspbian:
