easyocr installation error when install pillow

Question:

I’m trying to install the easyocr library, but every time it comes time to install the Pillow library it gives an error.

I’ve already tried to install pillow alone and install pytorch first, but it keeps giving the same error, if anyone can help me, I’d really appreciate it.

Here’s the error below:

Running setup.py install for Pillow ... error

I think that i ommit the line of error, but seeing on others foruns the error was caused because i was using the version 3.10 of python when the library Pillow, that was causing the installation error, is only supported for 3.9.12 of olders versions, so to resolve the problem we have to uninstall the actual python version and install the correct python version or create a virtual enviroment with the correct python version (the venv is a hint mine).

Thanks for everyones help and i hope that help others people with similary problem.

The error is that you need to use a Pillow version greater than 8.3 when using Python 3.10
