How may i install the Python Imaging Library to django environment?

Question

When I do:

pip install PIL

I get the error:

Could not find any downloads that satisfy the requirement PIL
No distributions at all found for PIL

Looked around google but to no avail.

Have a look at the top answer [here](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2485295/the-problem-with-installing-pil-using-virtualenv-or-buildout). You might find it easier to install ['pillow'](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/Pillow/) which is a more pip-friendly fork of PIL — Timmy O'Mahony, Mar 13 '13 at 12:32
