<p class="first admonition-title">Note</p>
<p class="last">You <strong>do not need to install all supported external libraries</strong> to
use Pillow’s basic features. <strong>Zlib</strong> and <strong>libjpeg</strong> are required
by default.</p>
</div>
<div class="admonition note">
<p class="first admonition-title">Note</p>
<p class="last">There are scripts to install the dependencies for some operating
systems included in the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">depends</span></code> directory. Also see the
Dockerfiles in our <a class="reference external" href="https://github.com/python-pillow/docker-images">docker images repo</a>.</p>
</div>
<p>Many of Pillow’s features require external libraries:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li><strong>libjpeg</strong> provides JPEG functionality.<ul>
<li>Pillow has been tested with libjpeg versions <strong>6b</strong>, <strong>8</strong>, <strong>9-9c</strong> and
libjpeg-turbo version <strong>8</strong>.</li>
<li>Starting with Pillow 3.0.0, libjpeg is required by default, but
may be disabled with the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">--disable-jpeg</span></code> flag.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><strong>zlib</strong> provides access to compressed PNGs<ul>
<li>Starting with Pillow 3.0.0, zlib is required by default, but may
be disabled with the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">--disable-zlib</span></code> flag.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><strong>libtiff</strong> provides compressed TIFF functionality<ul>
<li>Pillow has been tested with libtiff versions <strong>3.x</strong> and <strong>4.0</strong></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><strong>libfreetype</strong> provides type related services</li>
<li><strong>littlecms</strong> provides color management<ul>
<li>Pillow version 2.2.1 and below uses liblcms1, Pillow 2.3.0 and
above uses liblcms2. Tested with <strong>1.19</strong> and <strong>2.7</strong>.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><strong>libwebp</strong> provides the WebP format.<ul>
<li>Pillow has been tested with version <strong>0.1.3</strong>, which does not read
transparent WebP files. Versions <strong>0.3.0</strong> and above support
transparency.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><strong>tcl/tk</strong> provides support for tkinter bitmap and photo images.</li>
<li><strong>openjpeg</strong> provides JPEG 2000 functionality.<ul>
<li>Pillow has been tested with openjpeg <strong>2.0.0</strong> and <strong>2.1.0</strong>.</li>
<li>Pillow does <strong>not</strong> support the earlier <strong>1.5</strong> series which ships
with Ubuntu <= 14.04 and Debian Jessie.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><strong>libimagequant</strong> provides improved color quantization<ul>
<li>Pillow has been tested with libimagequant <strong>2.6-2.12.2</strong></li>
<li>Libimagequant is licensed GPLv3, which is more restrictive than
the Pillow license, therefore we will not be distributing binaries
with libimagequant support enabled.</li>
<li>Windows support: Libimagequant requires VS2013/MSVC 18 to compile,
so it is unlikely to work with any Python prior to 3.5 on Windows.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><strong>libraqm</strong> provides complex text layout support.<ul>
<li>libraqm provides bidirectional text support (using FriBiDi),
shaping (using HarfBuzz), and proper script itemization. As a
result, Raqm can support most writing systems covered by Unicode.</li>
<li>libraqm depends on the following libraries: FreeType, HarfBuzz,
FriBiDi, make sure that you install them before installing libraqm
if not available as package in your system.</li>
<li>setting text direction or font features is not supported without
libraqm.</li>
<li>libraqm is dynamically loaded in Pillow 5.0.0 and above, so support
is available if all the libraries are installed.</li>
<li>Windows support: Raqm support is currently unsupported on Windows.</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<p>Once you have installed the prerequisites, run:</p>
<div class="highlight-default notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>$ pip install Pillow
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>If the prerequisites are installed in the standard library locations
for your machine (e.g. <code class="file docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">/usr</span></code> or <code class="file docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">/usr/local</span></code>), 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 <code class="file docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">setup.py</span></code> or
<code class="file docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">setup.cfg</span></code>, or by adding environment variables on the command
line:</p>
<div class="highlight-default notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>$ CFLAGS="-I/usr/pkg/include" pip install pillow
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>If Pillow has been previously built without the required
prerequisites, it may be necessary to manually clear the pip cache or
build without cache using the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">--no-cache-dir</span></code> option to force a
build with newly installed external libraries.</p>
</div>
<div class="section" id="build-options">
<h3>Build Options<a class="headerlink" href="#build-options" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h3>
<ul class="simple">
<li>Environment variable: <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">MAX_CONCURRENCY=n</span></code>. By default, Pillow will
use multiprocessing to build the extension on all available CPUs,
but not more than 4. Setting <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">MAX_CONCURRENCY</span></code> to 1 will disable
parallel building.</li>
<li>Build flags: <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">--disable-zlib</span></code>, <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">--disable-jpeg</span></code>,
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">--disable-tiff</span></code>, <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">--disable-freetype</span></code>, <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">--disable-lcms</span></code>,

<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">--disable-imagequant</span></code>.
Disable building the corresponding feature even if the development
libraries are present on the building machine.</li>
<li>Build flags: <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">--enable-zlib</span></code>, <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">--enable-jpeg</span></code>,
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">--enable-tiff</span></code>, <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">--enable-freetype</span></code>, <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">--enable-lcms</span></code>,

<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">--enable-imagequant</span></code>.
Require that the corresponding feature is built. The build will raise
an exception if the libraries are not found. Webpmux (WebP metadata)
relies on WebP support. Tcl and Tk also must be used together.</li>
<li>Build flag: <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">--disable-platform-guessing</span></code>. Skips all of the
platform dependent guessing of include and library directories for
automated build systems that configure the proper paths in the
environment variables (e.g. Buildroot).</li>
<li>Build flag: <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">--debug</span></code>. Adds a debugging flag to the include and
library search process to dump all paths searched for and found to
stdout.</li>
</ul>
<p>Sample usage:</p>
<div class="highlight-default notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>$ MAX_CONCURRENCY=1 python setup.py build_ext --enable-[feature] install
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>or using pip:</p>

<h3>Building on macOS<a class="headerlink" href="#building-on-macos" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h3>
<p>The Xcode command line tools are required to compile portions of
Pillow. The tools are installed by running <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">xcode-select</span> <span class="pre">--install</span></code>
from the command line. The command line tools are required even if you
have the full Xcode package installed. It may be necessary to run
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">sudo</span> <span class="pre">xcodebuild</span> <span class="pre">-license</span></code> to accept the license prior to using the
tools.</p>
<p>The easiest way to install external libraries is via <a class="reference external" href="https://brew.sh/">Homebrew</a>. After you install Homebrew, run:</p>
<div class="highlight-default notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>$ brew install libtiff libjpeg webp little-cms2

</div>
<p>To install libraqm on macOS use Homebrew to install its dependencies:</p>
<div class="highlight-default notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>$ brew install freetype harfbuzz fribidi
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>Then see <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">depends/install_raqm_cmake.sh</span></code> to install libraqm.</p>
<p>Now install Pillow with:</p>
<div class="highlight-default notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>$ pip install Pillow
