ta-lib 64-bit Installation on Windows 10

ta-lib_64-bit_installation.md

Here are the instructions to build the 64-bit ta-lib.

Install TA-Lib C Library on Windows 10

• Download and Unzip ta-lib-0.4.0-msvc.zip
• Move the Unzipped Folder ta-lib to C:\
• Download and Install Visual Studio Community 2015
• Remember to Select [Visual C++] Feature
• Build TA-Lib Library
• From Windows Start Menu, Start [VS2015 x64 Native Tools Command Prompt]
• Move to C:\ta-lib\c\make\cdr\win32\msvc
• Build the Library nmake
• Then pip3 install ta-lib

does anyone have the 64 bit file?? care to pls share? I can't find anything on the net. Searching for 2 days

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 re-extracting the files worked for me. As of today I am on

• Windows 11

Device name	WIN64G

• x64 Native Tools Command Prompt for VS 2022 command line
• File is from http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/ta-lib/ta-lib-0.4.0-msvc.zip
• After re-extracting the ta-lib folder, here is the console log worked for me
  • C:\ta-lib\c\make\cdr\win32\msvc> nmake
  • C:\ta-lib\c\make\cdr\win32\msvc> pip3 install ta-lib

@fuinyroot
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...
