How to install Ta-Lib and its python library on Ubuntu 22?

Installing TA-lib on an Ubuntu server has its challenges as not only the python library has to be installed but the product should be downloaded and compiled first. Use the following steps to perform the installation:

mkdir -p /app
sudo apt-get install build-essential autoconf libtool pkg-config python3-dev -y
cd /app
sudo wget http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/ta-lib/ta-lib-0.4.0-src.tar.gz
sudo tar -xzf ta-lib-0.4.0-src.tar.gz
cd ta-lib/
sudo ./configure
sudo make
sudo make install
sudo pip3 install --upgrade pip
sudo pip3 install TA-Lib
