Can't install on Windows

[Rodelanuit1]

I'm new to programming and i want help to install ta-lib in python and then on use it on pycharm. I've try for hours and still don't know how this work.

The readme give us solutions but the command $ python3 -m pip install TA-Lib
doesn't work. After created a pipy account i still don't know how to do and why it have a $ ??

Error is '$' n’est pas reconnu en tant que commande interne ou externe, un programme exécutable ou un fichier de commandes

Same for the second solution $ python setup.py install

And then i don't understand what does mean for the third solution to install? Especially the part Build the Library nmake ? I've follow the other parts of the solution

4. Build TA-Lib Library

   • From Windows Start Menu, Start [VS2015 x64 Native Tools Command Prompt]
   • Move to C:\ta-lib\c\make\cdr\win32\msvc
   • Build the Library nmake

I've success to install in Anaconda but i want to import in Pycharm and I want the pip install ta-lib works

Also i've tried the TA_Lib‑0.4.24‑cp310‑cp310‑win_amd64.whl solution with no succes.

I have Python 3.11 and a PC 64 bits. Please help to understand.

A few comments and a few questions:

The $ command argument syntax is a bit more of a unix convention, but the $ means "run this command arguments in your shell...

When you say you've installed successfully in Anaconda, do you mean you have the ta-lib python module installed and available via conda? Or do you mean you installed the libta_lib package?

If you installed the library via conda, if you know where that command puts the libta_lib files then I can help you install this python wrapper.

[Rodelanuit1]

Yes thank you , it's not a surprise for the $

I mean, in a Anaconda prompt i write pip install ta-lib I have now the response Requirement already satisfied: ta-lib in c:\prog\lib\site-packages (0.4.19) Requirement already satisfied: numpy in c:\prog\lib\site-packages (from ta-lib) (1.23.5)

Yes i have use the conda forge command to install

[mrjbq7]

It sounds like you have it properly installed via conda, so the next steps would be to test it which you could do simply on the command line:

python -c "import talib; print(talib.__version__)"

And then setup your PyCharm to use the conda environment:

https://www.jetbrains.com/help/pycharm/conda-support-creating-conda-virtual-environment.html

[Rodelanuit1]

python -c "import talib; print(talib.version)"

in Anaconda prompt 0.4.19

Ok i have trouble to manage to create the conda environnement. My conda executable is in a strange folder C:/Prog in the link, it's on a proper folder well named.

2 Browse for the directory which contains your source files and the environment.yml file, and then click Open (on Mac) or OK (on Windows): I don't understand what does that mean ? I believe my conda python script won't work wihout this environment.yml

[Rodelanuit1]

I have forget previously the command conda install -c conda-forge libta-lib and it's say to me All requested packages already installed.

I still have the following error in cmd prompt

Building wheel for TA-lib (pyproject.toml) ... error error: subprocess-exited-with-error

[mrjbq7]

Do you have any of the [347 lines of output] that I could see?

[mrjbq7]

It's probably not finding the path to the TA-Lib C library, which is typically C:\ta-lib but might be in a different spot with conda and you need to set TA_LIBRARY_PATH and TA_INCLUDE_PATH to point to it.

Yes i have dear mrjbq7

note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip. ERROR: Failed building wheel for ta-lib Failed to build ta-lib ERROR: Could not build wheels for ta-lib, which is required to install pyproject.toml-based projects

It's probably not finding the path to the TA-Lib C library, which is typically C:\ta-lib but might be in a different spot with conda and you need to set TA_LIBRARY_PATH and TA_INCLUDE_PATH to point to it.

Ok i imagine . You mean like this

If you meaned that i stille can't pip install.

Just want to say , thank you to help me.

C:\ta-lib\c\make\cdr\win32\msvc>nmake

Microsoft (R) Program Maintenance Utility Version 14.35.32216.1 Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation. Tous droits réservés.

NMAKE : fatal error U1064: MAKEFILE introuvable et aucune cible spécifiée Stop.

Maybe someone knows what is wrong with this ? This is in the readme section for installing

[Rodelanuit1]

Oh yes i finally got it

It's help me don't not use the developper command prompt instead USE Native tools Command Prompt And then the nmake is OK , and the pip install ta-lib too .

I'm sorry that was so much trouble -- I will prioritize getting the cibuildwheel PR merged so we can generate binaries, it seems Windows is often problematic.
