I am using Termux for quite a while now and would like to install "Pillow" library on it. Whenever I try to install Pillow using "pip" it shows me the below errors.
At first I thought I need to upgrade pip, but it did not help. I have also cleared caches, to no avail.
Error

How do I install Pillow on termux?
Linux Installation Most major Linux distributions, including Fedora, Ubuntu and ArchLinux also include Pillow in packages that previously contained PIL e.g. python-imaging . Debian splits it into two packages, python3-pil and python3-pil. imagetk .
First download the wheel
module from pypi
pip install wheel
Then install the libjpeg-turbo
package.
pkg install libjpeg-turbo
And now install Pillow
with:
LDFLAGS="-L/system/lib/" CFLAGS="-I/data/data/com.termux/files/usr/include/" pip install Pillow
Note: If you are using an aarch64 device, set the LDFLAGS
flag to "-L/system/lib64/"
