pip install Pillow
but the installation fails with this error:
ValueError: --enable-jpeg requested but jpeg not found, aborting.

According to Wikipedia Pillow is packaged as python-pil and python3-pil in Ubuntu 13.04 and later. To install the Python Imaging Library in Ubuntu 16.04 and later (and also in Ubuntu 14.04), open the terminal and type: sudo apt install python-pil # for python 2.X
Bookmark this question. Show activity on this post. I went to This site for installing Pillow since the original PIL is a discontinued project and so now not so good to use. But, in the table support for Ubuntu 16.04 LTS is unmentioned. It appears neither in the 4.2.x installation guide, or in the 3.0.0 installation guide.

The problem was that the package libjpeg-dev was not installed. To solve the problem you should do this:
sudo apt-get install libjpeg-dev
Make sure Python-development packages are installed, if not then install it using the following commands :
For Ubuntu
sudo apt-get install python3-dev python3-setuptools
For Fedora
sudo dnf install python-devel
After installing the development packages install the following :
For Ubuntu
sudo apt-get install libtiff5-dev libjpeg8-dev zlib1g-dev \
libfreetype6-dev liblcms2-dev libwebp-dev tcl8.6-dev tk8.6-dev python-tk
For Fedora
sudo dnf install libtiff-devel libjpeg-devel libzip-devel freetype-devel \
lcms2-devel libwebp-devel tcl-devel tk-devel
You have to install the missing dependencies and libraries that Pillow requires for it to work. Find the dependencies here
This are the current dependancies/libraries for Ubuntu 14.04 for Pilllow 3.0.0+. Install them by running the command below
sudo apt-get install libtiff5-dev libjpeg8-dev zlib1g-dev \
