Hi
I am unable to install this TA-Lib library on my mac M1, please suggest a workaround or how can i install and practice the notebooks.
thanks
Hi Jay,
Can you share the error you are getting while installing the library and the Anaconda and Python versions? It will help us understand and debug the error. Also, meanwhile, you can run the notebooks on Google Colab.
Hi Akshay
I get this error on all platforms, i.e. I tried installing on my Mac M1, Windows 10 , and even to my surprise on google colab. Not sure what is missing from my end. I used the pip install TA-Lib command for installation. Also i was unable to change my anaconda env to quantra_py due to some conflicts in packages. However please see the error below while installing TA_LIb

Hi Jay,
Can you try installing talib using the following command on your Mac/Windows system:
conda install -c conda-forge ta-libYou can also refer to this blog for more detailed steps.
Also, for Google Colab, you can run the following command:
url = 'https://anaconda.org/conda-forge/libta-lib/0.4.0/download/linux-64/libta-lib-0.4.0-h166bdaf_1.tar.bz2'
!curl -L $url | tar xj -C /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ lib --strip-components=1
url = 'https://anaconda.org/conda-forge/ta-lib/0.4.19/download/linux-64/ta-lib-0.4.19-py310hde88566_4.tar.bz2'
!curl -L $url | tar xj -C /usr/local/lib/python3.10/dist-packages/ lib/python3.10/site-packages/talib --strip-components=3
import talibThis should run without any error, and you will be able to use talib.
Please let us know if you still face any issues.
Hi Akshay
thanks a lot for quick revert, i was able to install talib on my mac. although had initial hiccups due to environment differences.
One more thing i was not able to achieve is activating the quantra_py env, although it lists in my conda envs.
see the error log below, seems there are lot of conflicts in packages, i am currently using the anaconda3 env on my mac.

Hi Jay,
To resolve this, I would suggest you remove Anaconda's current version (basically do a clean uninstall) and install the following version.
Anaconda3-2022.05-MacOSX-x86_64.pkg
After this, you can retry creating the environment and it should work.
