I am here: C:\ta-lib\c\make\cdr\win32\msvc

I am fine until this step: Build the Library nmake

So, how will be the correct syntax to use nmake? Thanks.

Tried this solution on Windows 10 64bit with VS 2019. nmake worked, but still fail on pip install.

For future reference, i tried with Developer Powershell (VS 2019), nmake worked, but pip install still failed.

  • Removed ta-lib from C: and extracted to it again
  • Installed Visual Studio Community and ran VS2015 x64 Native Tools Command Prompt
  • nmake worked and pip install worked.

For anyone who's having this trouble, for me re-installing my VS2019 community & re-extracting the files fixed the issue (I had the problem with my already installed VS2019 - manually installing build tools did not work).
When installing VS2019, make sure you tick the box 'desktop development with c++' under desktop/mobile section. And then follow the instructions using x64 Native Tools Command Prompt for VS 2019.

This worked for me:

  1. Download package from here: https://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#ta-lib . Note, that "cpXX" part in the package file name is the version of your python, e.g. cp37.
  2. Cd to the downloaded file's dir and run pip install TA_Lib‑0.4.19‑cp37‑cp37m‑win_amd64.whl

Does it work in VS Code after you do this? I tried doing the same thing in the x64 Native Tools Command Prompt and it worked but pip install is still giving me an error.

"From Windows Start Menu, Start [x64 Native Tools Command Prompt for VS 2019]" is crucial, do not use "Developer Command Prompt".

This has worked for me as well as on VS Code. Thank you ;).

Leaving a note here to clear up some confusion that I had. I am running Windows 10 x64 and python 3.11:

This worked for me, after aggregating above information.

From Windows Start Menu, Start [x64 Native Tools Command Prompt for VS 2019]
Move to C:\ta-lib\c\make\cdr\win32\msvc
Build the Library nmake
Then python -m pip install TA-Lib

The instruction "Build the Library nmake" should read: Build the library using the command: nmake.exe

for example:

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

Simple WAY:
To install talib follow this steps

0-verify your python version : python -v
1-https://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#ta-lib
2-look for the appropriate version
3-pip install TA_Lib-0.4.24-cp310-cp310-win_amd64.whl

note : cp310 means python version 3.10
.whl package equivalent to win10 is TA_Lib-0.4.24-cp310-cp310-win_amd64.whl

Try this: TA_Lib‑0.4.24‑cp39‑cp39‑win_amd64.whl
I can send TA_Lib‑0.4.24‑cp39‑cp39‑win_amd64.whl (cp 39.zip ) to email. It does not attach here, there is no such format

I did the exact same as you did :

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

not sure what it went wrong
now more than 3 hours trying to install pip install TA-lib , nothing is working...
