PyAudio installation always fails on Mac

Firstly, I tried
pip install pyaudio
But that didn't work... I found that I need PortAudio, so installed it with brew:
brew install portaudio
That worked and then I restarted my Mac.
But pip install pyaudio still doesn't work and I get the below error message:

ERROR: Failed building wheel for pyaudio
I also tried pip3 install pyaudio without any luck.
BTW I am just doing this because I want to use the Python Speech Recognition API and I think pyaudio is necessary... is it?

Very likely you need to specify the directory path where the compiler can find the source programs like portaudio.h.
Under assumption that the headers are in /usr/local/include directory, try to run the below command in the Terminal:
pip install --global-option='build_ext' --global-option='-I/usr/local/include' --global-option='-L/usr/local/lib' pyaudio

your problem is that with the Xcode command-line. Reinstall using this
xcode-select --install
after xcode is fixed the command('xcrun') should be able to run so just reuse
pip3 install pyaudio

you may need to upgrade pip
python3 -m pip install --upgrade pip
-- Successfully installed pip-21.2.4
and/or invoke pip3
pip3 install ...

I tried everything. I uninstalled anaconda, I tried pip install regex NOTHING works. I am desperate. I cannot work since days. Please help me.

Make sure regex version is up to date in requirements.txt. For me it works when I set regex==2022.3.2.

Method that I have tried to fix this:
brew install portaudio
pip install pyaudio
But even after trying this I am getting the same error.
Can anyone help me with this error??
Thank You !!

Solution:
brew update
brew install portaudio
brew link --overwrite portaudio
pip install pyaudio
https://medium.com/#moon_is_beautiful/when-cant-install-pyaudio-with-pip-190973840dbf

For me, it worked following this Gist
https://gist.github.com/jiaaro/9767512210a1d80a8a0d
Install portaudio using homebrew (or method of your choice)
brew install portaudio
create $HOME/.pydistutils.cfg using the include and lib directories of your portaudio install:
[build_ext]
include_dirs=/Users/jrobert1271/homebrew/Cellar/portaudio/19.20140130/include/
library_dirs=/Users/jrobert1271/homebrew/Cellar/portaudio/19.20140130/lib/
Then in your virtualenv:
pip install --global-option='build_ext' --global-option='-I/usr/local/include' --global-option='-L/usr/local/lib' pyaudio

What am I doing wrong? I'm new in virtualenvs.
*I'm able to install other packages. I'm facing with an error only for pyaudio package.
By the way I'm in the environment:
(ENV) mertyildiran#Corsair:~/Downloads/VirtualEnvironment/vir1/MyProject$

This worked for me, I had the same problem:
if you want to install PyAudio inside a virtualenv, install the PortAudio development headers from APT, then PyAudio:
sudo apt-get install portaudio19-dev
pip install --allow-unverified=pyaudio pyaudio
https://pyspotify.mopidy.com/en/latest/api/sink/

Some packages require the support of non-Python software, such as shared libraries. These cannot be installed via pip (they're not Python packages!). You generally install these on the host using your host's package manager (apt-get or yum or dnf, etc...), or you use something like Docker to encapsulate both the dependencies and your application.
In your case, pyaudio requires a number of libraries, including at least portaudio. You will need to install the appropriate development packages on your system, as suggested in the comments on your question.

Following steps worked for me :) Please go through and try
1 sudo apt-get install libasound-dev
2 sudo apt-get install portaudio19-dev
3 pip install pyaudio --user
OR (--user dont work then try python3-pyaudio)
sudo apt-get install python3-pyaudio

In new Python 3.0 pyaudio can install in windows use following command:
pip3 install pyaudio.

If you want to install pyaudio in virtual environment in windows
first you need to download PyAudio-0.2.11-cp37-cp37m-win_amd64.whl this file in [https://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/] here and then open command prompt and go to the path where your downloaded file located and type pip install PyAudio-0.2.11-cp37-cp37m-win_amd64.whl
