Frustratingly having a lot of difficult installing the TA-Lib package in python.

I have read through all the forum posts

Answer 1

While there are similar answers but I thought I would take a crack at it.

1. Go to https://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#ta-lib and download the relevant .whl file.

   From the info given, I would suggest the file name, TA_Lib‑0.4.17‑cp35‑cp35m‑win_amd64.whl

2. I find Anaconda environment good for python, so I would suggest installing Anaconda and placing the file in the same folder location which is shown on the Anaconda prompt.

   In the Anaconda prompt, use the pip install command with the file name of the downloaded file.

3. Since we have downloaded the file, TA_Lib‑0.4.17‑cp37‑cp37m‑win_amd64.whl, the command would be:

   pip install TA_Lib‑0.4.17‑cp35‑cp35m‑win_amd64.whl`
   

If there is no error, then it implies that we have successfully installed Ta-Lib.

You should get something like this: install Ta-lib
