sudo apt-get install python-pil on Ubuntu 12.04? [duplicate]

  • 772

I'm restricted to sudo apt-get install and I need to install python-pil so the command should be sudo apt-get install python-pil,but here is the problem:

sudo apt-get install python-pil
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
Package python-pil is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source

E: Package 'python-pil' has no installation candidate

How to resolve this?

12.04

  1. Seems PIL is not supported, I have installed Pillow instead.

    Pillow is the friendly PIL fork by Alex Clark and Contributors. PIL is the Python Imaging Library by Fredrik Lundh and Contributors.

    So command should be:

    sudo apt-get install python-pillow
