Is it possible that Mac M1 users are not able to use Python wrapper for TA-Lib?
Question:
so I’ve been trying different methods to install TA-Lib, and found several different methods to install it, none of which have been easy, but even when TA-Lib is installed and appears on pip list, and even managed to install it on pipenv virtual environment, however if I actually want to go ahead and use it by typing
import talib
I get the following error:
ImportError: 2): Symbol not found: _TA_ACOS Referenced from: /Users/teo/.local/share/virtualenvs/trendingcoin-nriNAUCq/lib/python3.8/site-packages/talib/_ta_lib.cpython-38-darwin.so Expected in: flat namespace in /Users/teo/.local/share/virtualenvs/trendingcoin-nriNAUCq/lib/python3.8/site-packages/talib/_ta_lib.cpython-38-darwin.so
Now I would like you to know that I have tried many different methods to install it, they are detailed in this thread: Is it enough to install TA-Lib on Brew to use it? Pip throws me an error
As a wanna-be technical analyst, it would be sad if I can’t use the infamous TA-Lib.
Answers:
I was able to make it work following some of the steps in this github issue: https://github.com/mrjbq7/ta-lib/issues/381
$ arch -x86_64 brew install [email protected]
$ arch -x86_64 brew install ta-lib
$ arch -x86_64 brew link ta-lib
$ arch -x86_64 python3.9 -m pip install --no-cache-dir ta-lib
You’ll need x86/brew and rosetta: https://stackoverflow.com/a/64997047/3090309
NOTE: In my case, I went though so many intents, that really made the difference to include the --no-cache-dir
option.
The solution here seems to work:
https://github.com/mrjbq7/ta-lib/issues/408#issuecomment-839583759
$ conda install -c conda-forge ta-lib
Install ta-lib
brew install ta-lib
Find pip command for your environment
which -a pip
/home/<user>/.conda/envs/newenv/bin/pip <---------------
/usr/bin/pip
Install ta-lib wrapper via pip command
/home/<user>/.conda/envs/newenv/bin/pip install ta-lib
Here’s what I did with my Mac M1:
# install python3.10
arch -arm64 brew install ta-lib
export TA_INCLUDE_PATH="$(brew --prefix ta-lib)/include"
export TA_LIBRARY_PATH="$(brew --prefix ta-lib)/lib"
arch -arm64 python -m pip install --no-cache-dir ta-lib
