Installing Pillow on macOS Mojave - running python 3.7

I'm totally new and all the stuff within Terminal is beyond me.



I mananged to get Pillow 5.3 installed on my computer, but it went into the Python 2.7 folder in Library. I've been using Python 3.7 in PyCharm as I learn.



None of the import commands are working:



import PIL
from PIL import pillow
import pillow


My system doesn't recognize any of these. Do I need to move the Pillow 5.3 folder somewhere? I must be missing a step somewhere.

  • @johnpaton I used pip install pillow, which was apparently the problem! A commenter below said i needed to use pip3 install pillow which I did, however, i got a syntax error in Terminal EDIT: It worked. Let's see if I can get this going. Thank you!

You have to install pillow for Python 3.7, not 2.7.



pip3 install pillow


(if pip3 is available from your command line, otherwise, look where PyCharm has its Python 3.7 install).

  • Make sure you are using the right python and not python 2. updating pip is not a bad idea, but not mandatory now that you have the packages you needed.

  • PyCharm says Python 3.7 is project interpreter, which is good. Pillow is listed as a package in those settings as well, but I still can't seem to import it properly.
