How to Install Libraries

Is there anyone there who could teach me how to install python libraries, I was planning to install pyaudio with the use of pip, I already successfully installed python and pip but when I initiate the command "pip install pyaudio" , I get this error -> Defaulting to user installation because normal site-packages is not writeable

Re: How to Install Libraries

Don't use language specific package managers to install global packages. YOu're asking for trouble.

Re: How to Install Libraries

This indicates you do not have the "portaudio" package installed, pyaudio is a python binding for portaudio and must therefore depend on it.

Fortunately, you can pacman -S community/python-pyaudio, which has a precompiled python module for you that depends on portaudio already. This is why using pacman is better than pip.
