Setting up Pillow

So far, the only libraries we have used in the past have been a default part of python. However Pillow is different. Before we can use it, we will have to install it. If you followed the setup instructions for python here, follow the steps to install Pillow below. If you installed Python in a different way, you may need to do a little bit of detective work with installing the library. You can find the official installation instructions for the library here

Step 1: Begin by opening up an instance of visual studio. In the top of the screen, select “new terminal” from the terminal drop-down menu

Step 2: This will open up a text terminal at the bottom of the window. Inside of this window, type “pip install Pillow” and hit enter

Ideally, after this step, you should see either a loading bar appear in the terminal as pip installs, or you should see “requirement already satisfied”

Once this is done, you are ready to move on to the project
