Frustratingly having a lot of difficult installing the TA-Lib package in python.
https://pypi.python.org/pypi/TA-Lib
I have read through all the forum posts I can find on this but no such luck for my particular problem..
Windows 10 Python 3.5.2 Anaconda 4.2.0 Cython 0.24.1 Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0
I have downloaded and extracted ta-lib-0.4.0-msvc.zip to C:/TA-Lib (common problems seem to be people not installing the underlying TA-Lib file http://www.ta-lib.org/hdr_dw.html)
If someone could help me solve this I would be very appreciative!
Using 'pip install ta-lib' I get the following:
C:\Users\Matt>pip install ta-lib

You could try the "Unofficial Windows Binaries for Python Extension Packages by Christoph Gohlke, Laboratory for Fluorescence Dynamics, University of California, Irvine."
http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#ta-lib
He has different versions compiled depending on OS and Python version. You probably need TA_Lib‑0.4.10‑cp35‑cp35m‑win_amd64.whl
Good luck.
Download ta-lib-0.4.0-msvc.zip from http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/ta-lib/ta-lib-0.4.0-msvc.zip and unzip to C:\ta-lib
This is a 32-bit release. If you want to use 64-bit Python, you will need to build a 64-bit version of the library.
Some unofficial (and unsupported) instructions for building on 64-bit Windows 10, here for reference:
Download and Unzip
ta-lib-0.4.0-msvc.zipMove the Unzipped Folder
ta-libtoC:\Download and Install Visual Studio Community 2015 or 2017 - have to do the big install i'm afraid - no other way
Remember to Select [Visual C++] Feature
- Build TA-Lib Library - From Windows Start Menu, Start [VS2015 x64 Native Tools Command Prompt]
cd to C:\ta-lib\c\make\cdr\win32\msvc
Build the Library by typing nmake
- Try installing
ta-libagain frompipor pycharm etc...
From https://github.com/mrjbq7/ta-lib:
'This typically means that it can't find the underlying TA-Lib library, a dependency which needs to be installed.'
Install the underlying TA-Lib library first from here: https://www.ta-lib.org/hdr_dw.html
I used the 'ta-lib-0.4.0-msvc.zip' one.
Then download a whl file from: https://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#ta-lib
I used the 'TA_Lib‑0.4.16‑cp35‑cp35m‑win_amd64.whl' one.
I can not definitely remember but I think I lastly ran pip install TA-Lib as well
I faced the same problems trying with Anaconda 5.1.0 and Python 3.6 via Visual Studio.
The solution was to get a wheel from https://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs, then install it via pip. You need to make sure the wheel matches your python version (in my case, 3.6).
In Anaconda, I just opened a prompt, navigated to where the wheel was, and ran the following:
python -m pip install TA_Lib-0.4.17-cp36-cp36m-win_amd64.whl
For Visual Studio, it was more obtuse. Go to the Python Environments tab, choose 'Overview' in the dropdown, then `Open in PowerShell'. At that point, run the same command as for ANaconda above.
Download related package from
https://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#ta-lib
TA_Lib‑0.4.17‑cp36‑cp36m‑win_amd64.whl (Since I have python 3.6, cp36)
and use
pip install TA_Lib‑0.4.17‑cp36‑cp36m‑win_amd64.whl
Hi you can proceed as folow :
1.Go to this page : https://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#ta-lib
Choose your version of python : cp35 means Python 3.5 (64 bit for example)
2.Dowload the package and unzip in "...\Python\Python35\Scripts"
Go on cmd and in the same repertory "...\Python\Python35\Scripts" and write: 'pip3 install TA_Lib-0.4.17-cp35-cp35m-win_amd64.whl' entry
installed !
The following solved the issue I had installing ta-lib for Python:
1.- OS: Windows 10 Python: 2.7, embedded in miniconda. Miniconda: 64 bits (https://conda.io/miniconda). PyCharm 2018.1.4 Community Edition (https://www.jetbrains.com/pycharm/).
2.- You need to convert ta-lib to 64 bits. You can find it already converted in here: https://github.com/afnhsn/TA-Lib_x64 This site also tells you what to do, however there are several steps not included or confusing there that I am explaining here. It is important that you do not just unzip the file 'ta-lib x64.zip' at 'C:\'. Inside the zip file, there is a 'ta-lib' folder. This folder is the one that has to be in 'C:\'
3.- From the same github account, download and execute C++ Build Tools ('en_visual_cpp_build_tools_2015_update_3_x86_x64_8923157.exe')
4.- Microsoft Visual C++ 9.0 is required. Get it from http://aka.ms/vcpython27 You must download and install it, in case you don't already have it.
5.- Inside your python environment, run "pip install ta-lib".
This worked for me, I hope this info is useful for you.
Note: At the time, there is no TA-lib developed for Python 3.x, that is why I used Python 2.7
