How to install Pillow on termux?

Question

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

Answer 1

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/"
