This will need to install the ta-lib native library, for this: (More info here)

1. Install Microsoft C++ Build Tools

2. Compile the ta-lib

Windows

Download ta-lib-0.4.0-msvc.zip and unzip to C:\ta-lib.

This is a 32-bit binary release. If you want to use 64-bit Python, you will need to build a 64-bit version of the library. Some unofficial instructions for building on 64-bit Windows 10 or Windows 11, here for reference:

Download and Unzip ta-lib-0.4.0-msvc.zip

• Move the Unzipped Folder ta-lib to C:\
• Select [Visual C++] Feature
• Build TA-Lib Library From Windows Start Menu, Start [VS2015 x64 Native Tools Command Prompt]
• Move to C:\ta-lib\c\make\cdr\win32\msvc
• Build the Library by executing: nmake

Alternatively, You might also try these unofficial windows binaries for both 32-bit and 64-bit: https://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#ta-lib

3. Install ta-lib

pip install ta-lib
