Installation
============
.. warning:: Pillow >= 2.1.0 no longer supports "import _imaging". Please use "from PIL.Image import core as _imaging" instead.
.. warning:: Pillow >= 1.0 no longer supports "import Image". Please use "from PIL import Image" instead.
.. warning:: PIL and Pillow currently cannot co-exist in the same environment.
If you want to use Pillow, please remove PIL first.
.. note:: Pillow >= 2.0.0 supports Python versions 2.6, 2.7, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4
.. note:: Pillow < 2.0.0 supports Python versions 2.4, 2.5, 2.6, 2.7.
Simple installation
-------------------
.. note::
The following instructions will install Pillow with support for most formats.
See :ref:`external-libraries` for the features you would gain by installing
the external libraries first. This page probably also include specific
instructions for your platform.
You can install Pillow with :command:`pip`::
$ pip install Pillow
Or :command:`easy_install` (for installing `Python Eggs
<http://peak.telecommunity.com/DevCenter/PythonEggs>`_, as :command:`pip` does
not support them)::
$ easy_install Pillow
Or download the `compressed archive from PyPI`_, extract it, and inside it
run::
$ python setup.py install
.. _compressed archive from PyPI: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/Pillow
.. _external-libraries:
External libraries
------------------
.. note::
You *do not* need to install all of the external libraries to use Pillow's basic features.
Many of Pillow's features require external libraries:
* **libjpeg** provides JPEG functionality.
* Pillow has been tested with libjpeg versions **6b**, **8**, and **9**
* **zlib** provides access to compressed PNGs
* **libtiff** provides group4 tiff functionality
* Pillow has been tested with libtiff versions **3.x** and **4.0**
* **libfreetype** provides type related services
* **littlecms** provides color management
* Pillow version 2.2.1 and below uses liblcms1, Pillow 2.3.0 and
above uses liblcms2. Tested with **1.19** and **2.2**.
* **libwebp** provides the Webp format.
* Pillow has been tested with version **0.1.3**, which does not read
transparent webp files. Versions **0.3.0** and **0.4.0** support
transparency.
* **tcl/tk** provides support for tkinter bitmap and photo images.
* **openjpeg** provides JPEG 2000 functionality.
* Pillow has been tested with openjpeg **2.0.0** and **2.1.0**.
Once you have installed the prerequisites,run::
$ pip install Pillow
If the prerequisites are installed in the standard library locations
for your machine (e.g. :file:`/usr` or :file:`/usr/local`), no
additional configuration should be required. If they are installed in
a non-standard location, you may need to configure setuptools to use
those locations by editing :file:`setup.py` or
:file:`setup.cfg`, or by adding environment variables on the command
line::
$ CFLAGS="-I/usr/pkg/include" pip install pillow
Linux installation
------------------
.. note::
Fedora, Debian/Ubuntu, and ArchLinux include Pillow (instead of PIL) with
their distributions. Consider using those instead of installing manually.
**We do not provide binaries for Linux.** If you didn't build Python from
source, make sure you have Python's development libraries installed. In Debian
or Ubuntu::
$ sudo apt-get install python-dev python-setuptools
Or for Python 3::
$ sudo apt-get install python3-dev python3-setuptools
In Fedora, the command is::
$ sudo yum install python-devel
Prerequisites are installed on **Ubuntu 10.04 LTS** with::
$ sudo apt-get install libtiff4-dev libjpeg62-dev zlib1g-dev \
libfreetype6-dev tcl8.5-dev tk8.5-dev python-tk
Prerequisites are installed with on **Ubuntu 12.04 LTS** or **Raspian Wheezy
7.0** with::
$ sudo apt-get install libtiff4-dev libjpeg8-dev zlib1g-dev \
libfreetype6-dev liblcms2-dev libwebp-dev tcl8.5-dev tk8.5-dev python-tk
Prerequisites are installed on **Fedora 20** with::
$ sudo yum install libtiff-devel libjpeg-devel libzip-devel freetype-devel \
lcms2-devel libwebp-devel tcl-devel tk-devel
Mac OS X installation
---------------------
We provide binaries for OS X in the form of `Python Wheels <http://wheel.readthedocs.org/en/latest/index.html>`_. Alternatively you can compile Pillow with with XCode.
The easiest way to install external libraries is via `Homebrew <http://mxcl.github.com/homebrew/>`_. After you install Homebrew, run::
$ brew install libtiff libjpeg webp little-cms2
Install Pillow with::
$ pip install Pillow
Windows installation
--------------------
We provide binaries for Windows in the form of Python Eggs and `Python Wheels
<http://wheel.readthedocs.org/en/latest/index.html>`_:
Python Eggs
^^^^^^^^^^^
.. note::
:command:`pip` does not support Python Eggs; use :command:`easy_install`
instead.
::
$ easy_install Pillow
Python Wheels
^^^^^^^^^^^^^
.. Note:: Experimental. Requires setuptools >=0.8 and pip >=1.4.1
::
$ pip install --use-wheel Pillow
If the above does not work, it's likely because we haven't uploaded a
wheel for the latest version of Pillow. In that case, try pinning it
to a specific version:
::
$ pip install --use-wheel Pillow==2.3.0
FreeBSD installation
---------------------
.. Note:: Only FreeBSD 10 tested
Make sure you have Python's development libraries installed.::
$ sudo pkg install python2
Or for Python 3::
$ sudo pkg install python3
Prerequisites are installed on **FreeBSD 10** with::
$ sudo pkg install jpeg tiff webp lcms2 freetype2
Platform support
----------------
Current platform support for Pillow. Binary distributions are contributed for
each release on a volunteer basis, but the source should compile and run
everywhere platform support is listed. In general, we aim to support all
current versions of Linux, OS X, and Windows.
.. note::
Contributors please test on your platform, edit this document, and send a
pull request.
