I'm trying to install TA-Lib module on my 3.6 Python, but i'm facing many problems. First of all, i already made sure that it's the x32 version. I have two versions of python installed, 2.7 and 3.6.

Here is what i tried:

pip install ta-lib

I got the error error: command 'cl.exe' failed: No such file or directory.

After that, i tried downloading it from here, but after running pip install TA_Lib-0.4.15-cp36-cp36m-win32.whl, i got the following error: requirement 'TA_Lib-0.4.15-cp36-cp36m-win32.whl' looks like a filename, but the file does not exist.

Did anyone else experience a similar problem or knows how to solve it? Thanks in advance

Try installing the cp38 wrapper (0.4.19) instead if cp39 doesn't work.

Worked for me.

I am using Anaconda 4.9.2 with Python 3.8.5, 64 bit version.

  1. Download - TA_Lib‑0.4.19‑cp38‑cp38‑win_amd64.whl

  1. pip install TA_Lib‑0.4.19‑cp38‑cp38‑win_amd64.whl

Clone the GitHub repository and run setup.py.

$> https://github.com/mrjbq7/ta-lib
$> python setup.py install

  • So it cloned the repository but when i try setup.py i get 'no such file or directory'. I found the repository and copied it to my site-packages folder of py 3.6 and then tried pip install ta-lib, but i got 'cl.exe failed' again – Gerard22 Jan 15 '18 at 11:06
  • Ok. So what is your platform? – Lasith Niroshan Jan 15 '18 at 11:09
  • Okay, other than that, before getting cl.exe failed, i got 'Failed building wheel for TA-Lib' – Gerard22 Jan 15 '18 at 11:13
  • I got python 3.6 and 2.7 on my laptop (Windows), is python x32 so it should be fine for ta-lib – Gerard22 Jan 15 '18 at 11:14
  • First, install this! [cpp build tools](http://landinghub.visualstudio.com/visual-cpp-build-tools). Then try again! – Lasith Niroshan Jan 15 '18 at 11:14
  • I got VS installed, i tried pretty much everything but nothing seems to work, don't know what i'm missing – Gerard22 Jan 15 '18 at 11:17
  • Your main problem is likely to be trying to use 64-bit Python with the 32-bit binary release of the ta-lib C library. – Lasith Niroshan Jan 15 '18 at 15:35
  • Well, i tried `import struct print(struct.calcsize("P") * 8)`, and it gave me 32 as a result, so it should be a 32 bit version. I had the same doubt, tho, but it seems not to be this case – Gerard22 Jan 15 '18 at 16:27

Found this solution on a githib repo and it worked for me.

Download TA_Lib-0.4.10-cp27-cp27m-win_amd64.whl from http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#ta-lib.

And use command pip install TA_Lib-0.4.10-cp27-cp27m-win_amd64.whl

I was using anaconda with Python 3.6 64 bit version.
