Hi@akhtar,

I don't know which steps you followed. But in my case, I followed the below steps and this worked for me.

• First, we need to install Portaudio modules

$ sudo apt-get install libasound-dev

• Download the Portaudio archive from the below link.

 http://portaudio.com/download.html

• Unzip the archive.

$ tar -zxvf portaudio.tgz

• Enter the directory, then run the below command.

$ ./configure && make

• And finally, install Pyaudio.

$ sudo pip install pyaudio

• Check the version of Pyaudio, it should be 0.2.9
