For python version 2 x you can simply use    pip install pillow   But for python version 3 X you need to specify    sudo  pip3 install pillow   when you enter pip in bash hit tab and you will see what options you have

Pillow is released with installation wheels on Windows      We provide Pillow binaries for Windows   compiled for the matrix of supported Pythons   in both 32 and 64-bit versions in wheel  egg    and executable installers  These binaries have   all of the optional libraries included   https   pillow readthedocs io en 3 3 x installation html basic-installation  Update  Python 3 6 is now supported by Pillow  Install with pip install pillow and check https   pillow readthedocs io en latest installation html for more information     However  Python 3 6 is still in alpha and not officially supported yet  although the tests do all pass for the nightly Python builds  currently 3 6a4    https   travis-ci org python-pillow Pillow jobs 155605577  If it s somehow possible to install the 3 5 wheel for 3 6  that s your best bet  Otherwise  zlib notwithstanding  you ll need to build from source  requiring an MS Visual C   compiler  and which isn t straightforward  For tips see   https   pillow readthedocs io en 3 3 x installation html building-from-source  And also see how it s built for Windows on AppVeyor CI  but not yet 3 5 or 3 6    https   github com python-pillow Pillow tree master winbuild  Failing that  downgrade to Python 3 5 or wait until 3 6 is supported by Pillow  probably closer to the 3 6 s official release
