installation a pain on macOS

PyAudio

(doesn't seem to be installable other ways; see PortAudio/portaudio#708 ?)

1. git clone https://github.com/PortAudio/portaudio.git
2. ./configure; make; sudo make install
3. export CFLAGS="-I pwd/portaudio-v19/include/ -L pwd/portaudio-v19/lib/.libs/" (with appropriate directories)

• as of 2023-06-27: export CFLAGS="-I pwd/include/ -L pwd/lib/.libs/"

4. pip install pyaudio

libmagic (special instructions no longer needed as of 2023-06-27)

1. brew install libmagic
2. git clone https://github.com/dveselov/python-libmagic.git
3. python setup.py install
   • Might also need to do pip uninstall python-magic; pip install python-magic-bin==0.4.14

I got these working when I set up the MacOS build for CI in #181: portaudio can be installed with brew and python-magic-bin isn't actually required (cda964f). See
