You could try the "Unofficial Windows Binaries for Python Extension Packages by Christoph Gohlke, Laboratory for Fluorescence Dynamics, University of California, Irvine."

He has different versions compiled depending on OS and Python versions. You probably need TA_Lib‑0.4.10‑cp35‑cp35m‑win_amd64.whl
Good luck.

Download ta-lib-0.4.0-msvc.zip from http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/ta-lib/ta-lib-0.4.0-msvc.zip and unzip to C:\ta-lib
This is a 32-bit release. If you want to use 64-bit Python, you will need to build a 64-bit version of the library.
Some unofficial (and unsupported) instructions for building on 64-bit Windows 10, here for reference:
Download and Unzip
ta-lib-0.4.0-msvc.zipMove the Unzipped Folder
ta-libtoC:\Download and Install Visual Studio Community 2015 or 2017 - have to do the big install i'm afraid - no other way
Remember to Select [Visual C++] Feature
- Build TA-Lib Library - From Windows Start Menu, Start [VS2015 x64 Native Tools Command Prompt]
cd to C:\ta-lib\c\make\cdr\win32\msvc
Build the Library by typing nmake
- Try installing

» pip install TA-Lib
Here is what works for me...
Download TA_Lib-0.4.10-cp27-cp27m-win_amd64.whl from here
And use command pip install TA_Lib-0.4.10-cp27-cp27m-win_amd64.whl
I was using Conda4 with python 3.6 64 bit version.
Another way also you can try
To install Ta-Lib with Python 3.6+, Windows 64 bit use this pip install -i https://pypi.anaconda.org/masdeseiscaracteres/simple ta-lib
The root cause of the error is probably because you haven't installed actual TA-Lib library which is written in C. Note that the python lib is just a wrapper on top of the actual library. So in order to have python wrapper successfully installed, you'll need to install its prerequisite (the actual TA-Lib).
See https://github.com/mrjbq7/ta-lib#dependencies for more details.
From above reference (for ease of access) :
Installing actual TA-Lib (prerequisite for python wrapper) :
Windows
Download ta-lib-0.4.0-msvc.zip and unzip to C:\ta-lib
Move the Unzipped Folder ta-lib to C:\
Download and Install Visual Studio Community 2015 if already not installed (Remember to Select [Visual C++] Feature)
open x64 Native Tools Command Prompt
navigate to
C:\ta-lib\c\make\cdr\win32\msvctype
nmake(this command builds the library)
Linux
cd ta-lib/
$ ./configure --prefix=/usr
$ make
$ sudo make install
Mac OS X
$ brew install ta-lib
If you are using a M1 laptop and Homebrew, then you can set these before installing:
export TA_INCLUDE_PATH="$(brew --prefix ta-lib)/include"
export TA_LIBRARY_PATH="$(brew --prefix ta-lib)/lib"
Hint : It seems, by default, the setup.py reads actual library files from C:\ta-lib (in Windows) and /usr (in Linux). so if you move the downloaded zip file to another location and extract it there (for Windows) or set ./configure --prefix to any location other than /usr (for Linux), then you would have to set TA_LIBRARY_PATH and TA_INCLUDE_PATH environment variables to your desired locations.
If you installed the underlying TA-Lib library with a custom prefix (e.g., with ./configure --prefix=$PREFIX), then when you go to install this python wrapper you can specify additional search paths to find the library and include files for the underlying TA-Lib library using the TA_LIBRARY_PATH and TA_INCLUDE_PATH environment variables:
$ export TA_LIBRARY_PATH=$PREFIX/lib
$ export TA_INCLUDE_PATH=$PREFIX/include
$ python setup.py install # or pip install ta-lib
pip3 install wheel
Then you need to download relevant TA-Lib districution from here https://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#ta-lib, probably TA_Lib‑0.4.24‑cp39‑cp39‑win_amd64.whl,
then
pip3 install TA_Lib‑0.4.24‑cp39‑cp39‑win_amd64.whl
Solution for MAC OS
Install Homebrew from APP STORE Restart your PC
On terminal export TA_INCLUDE_PATH="$(brew --prefix ta-lib)/include" export TA_LIBRARY_PATH="$(brew --prefix ta-lib)/lib"
on terminal type and execute brew install talib (or) arch -arm64 brew install ta-lib (For M1) Restart your PC again
check installation by typing >>Import talib on python3 terminal check version >>talib.version
5.if not displayed try once reinstalling using pip install ta-lib
Hii guys I need help. It seems I am not able to install Ta-lib on Mac nor on Windows. Anyone could help me please ? Thank you
Im trying to install TA-Lib trough IntelliJIDEA. I have tried installing it via terminal, it works 50% of the time, but never gets recognized by IntelliJ. Have tried reinstalling IntelliJ and python. Tried on linux and windows. Nothing works. Using Linux as main computer.
Here is the message I get when trying to install TA-Lib trough IntelliJ.

I ran into exactly the same problem and was able to resolve it and install TA-lib on Linux and my OSX laptop. I'll stick to linux instructions here specifically CentOS, but the trick for both was the same... you must have TA-lib binary libraries installed on the machine before the python wrapper will install with pip.
The reference I used: ttps://github.com/mrjbq7/ta-lib
If this command is failing:
pip install TA-lib
Complaining about ta_libc headers as such:
func.c:256:28: fatal error: ta-lib/ta_libc.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.
You'll need to install TA-lib binaries before installing the python wrapper. I downloaded it as follows:
wget http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/ta-lib/ta-lib-0.4.0-src.tar.gz
Then uncompressed it, compiled it and installed:
tar -xvf ta-lib-0.4.0-src.tar.gz
cd ta-lib
./configure --prefix=/usr
make
sudo make install
sudo ldconfig
If you don't have gcc and/or python3-dev on your machine, the above steps will give you hard time. Initially they were blowing up on me, so I satisfied the dependencies with:
sudo yum install gcc
sudo yum install python36-dev
Then re-run the steps from the beginning, this time with success. The above solution worked in my case.
I hope that helps, Good Luck!
BTW. My first ever answer here, I hope it helps someone, I've used StackOverflow to get passed many problems in the past, so I am hoping to reciprocate.
2018-08-30 UDPATE: I kept running into compiling issues specifically the error listed below would happen repeatedly. It turned out that I didn't have enough RAM (1GB) in the Virtual Machine. Solution ref:(https://github.com/mrjbq7/ta-lib/issues/133) so I upgraded RAM (2GB) and issue went away.
talib/_ta_lib.c:208671:15: warning: assignment from incompatible pointer type [enabled by default]
2021-03-06 UDPATE: OSX Catalina update! When compiling the TA-lib on OSX Catalina (10.15+) the above instructions did not work, I had to modify this:
tar -xvf ta-lib-0.4.0-src.tar.gz
cd ta-lib
./configure
make
sudo make install
After that, the pip install worked fine. –
I have solved the problem with conda environment.using
conda install -c quantopian ta-lib
