How do I install PIL/Pillow for Python 3.6?

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

You can download the wheel corresponding to your configuration here ("Pillow‑4.1.1‑cp36‑cp36m‑win_amd64.whl" in your case) and install it with:

pip install some-package.whl

If you have problem to install the wheel read this answer

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

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).

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.
