Pyaudio install fails when installing requirements.txt

[nickgon]

Users on Mac may receive an error where requirements.txt fails on the pyaudio install. To fix this, you need to first install portaudio through homebrew first. On their documentation, you need to run the commands in this order:

brew install portaudio
pip install pyaudio

Doing brew install portaudio then pip install -r requirements.txt worked for me after following the stackoverflow

Developments files are needed. Those files are installed with the portaudio19-dev package.

sudo apt install portaudio19-dev
