I installed Django (1.11) on a Python (3.6.3) virtual environment running on a Ubuntu 16.04 LTS server. My Django app contains images and Django dev server won’t start without Pillow installed. I’m having a hard time trying to install Pillow.
From what I found in the docs there are no Pillow wheels for linux. Pip try to build it from source but fail to install with the error message that “The headers or library files could not be found for zlib”. I tried to install zlib (zlib1g-dev) with apt get but the installation still fails.
I’m new to linux and all these “build from source” things are kind of scary. Any hints …
Thanks
