Solution 1:[1]

This Solution is tested on M1 Macs[Please do check with other].

After the installation of HomeBrew on your system, perform the installation of PortAudio. Next follow the steps mentioned below:

Use the command to install PortAudio

sudo brew install portaudio

After successful installation of PortAudio, enter the following command.

sudo nano $HOME/.pydistutils.cfg

Next, enter the following lines in the opened window

[build_ext]
include_dirs=/Users/<enter-your-system-username>/homebrew/Cellar/portaudio/19.20140130/include/
include_dirs=/Users/<enter-your-system-username>/homebrew/Cellar/portaudio/19.20140130/lib/

Note: PortAudio location may be different for you and also don't forget to replace your PC username.

Finally run the command

pip install pyaudio

or

pip3 install pyaudio

Solution 2:[2]

For me it was:

brew install portaudio
python -m pip install --global-option='build_ext' --global-option='-I/opt/homebrew/Cellar/portaudio/19.7.0/include' --global-option='-L/opt/homebrew/Cellar/portaudio/19.7.0/lib' pyaudio

Solution 3:[3]

vkshah has an error in his second line. It should ready library_dirs instead of include_dirs:

include_dirs=/Users/<enter-your-system-username>/homebrew/Cellar/portaudio/19.20140130/include/
library_dirs=/Users/<enter-your-system-username>/homebrew/Cellar/portaudio/19.20140130/lib/```
