I have downloaded ta-lib-0.6.4-windows-x86_64 and ta_lib-0.6.3-cp313-cp313-cp313-win_amd64.whl. I unzipped ta-lib-0.6.4-windows-x86_64 to C:, but that didn't do anything. I haven't been able to figure out how to do anything with ta_lib-0.6.3-cp313-cp313-cp313-win_amd64.whl, because when I go to open it the computer wants to send it the notepad.

When I try pip download ta-lib I get the error code: ERROR: Failed to build installable wheels for some pyproject.toml based projects (TA-Lib).

I could download this easily with a wheel file when it wasn't depreciated, but since the update from swig I'm at a loss. Any help is appreciated.

• There are two problems in one. First one is how to install a Python Wheel that you downloaded. I'd suggest you search the web for that one, so you at least know the basics. The second one is that some error happened during the installation via PIP. We don't know what that error is here, so we can't help you with that one. If you have more than that generic error, search the web for the error message as well in order to get an idea. If that doesn't help, edit your Q to include that info.

• pip install ta-lib-<version>-cp<python_version>-cp<python_version>m-win_amd64.whl – user4136999 Commented Mar 3 at 12:18
• always put full error message because there are other useful information. – furas Commented Mar 3 at 17:51
• you can use .whl directly with pip install your_file.whl – furas Commented Mar 3 at 17:53
• Have you tried using an older version of ta-lib like 0.5.1? I faced the same error but when trying to install the most recent ta-lib version in a Docker container, couldn't solve it after hours so I decided to use 0.5.1 and it worked fine! – antonioACR1 Commented Mar 18 at 2:37

I needed to navigate with cd in command line to where the .whl file was (in my case. C:\Users\name\Downloads) located and pip install your_file.whl from there. Pretty sure this downloaded as a global package, but it's available in my virtual environment now.
