 I am trying to install PIL (the Python Imaging Library) using the command:

sudo pip install pil

but I get the following message:

Cleaning up…

Could anyone please help me to install pip PIL??

Answered by Claudine Tippins

 To Install Xcode and Xcode Command Line Tools as mentioned.

Use Pillow instead, as PIL is basically dead. Pillow is a maintained fork of PIL.

https://pypi.python.org/pypi/Pillow/2.2.1

pip install Pillow

If you have both Pythons installed and want to install this for Python3:

python3 -m pip install Pillow

Or

First you should run this sudo apt-get build-dep python-imaging which will give you all the dependencies that you might need.

Then run sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get -y upgrade.

Followed by sudo apt-get install python-pip.

And then finally install Pil pip install pillow.
