<p>As an alternative, you can also search for Pillow in the package manager. However, this is usually an inferior way to install packages because it involves more steps.</p>
<h2>How to Install Pillow in Anaconda?</h2>
<p>You can install the Pillow package with Conda using the following command in your shell:</p>
<pre class="EnlighterJSRAW" data-enlighter-language="generic" data-enlighter-theme="" data-enlighter-highlight="" data-enlighter-linenumbers="" data-enlighter-lineoffset="" data-enlighter-title="" data-enlighter-group=""> conda install -c anaconda pillow </pre>
<p>This assumes you’ve already installed <code>conda</code> on your computer. If you haven’t check out the installation steps on the <a href="https://anaconda.org/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" title="https://anaconda.org/">official page.</a></p>
<h2 class="wp-block-block">Where to Go From Here?</h2>
