Windows
=======
The `official documantation <https://pillow.readthedocs.io/en/latest/installation.html#windows-installation>`_ says that simply executing :code:`pip install Pillow` succeeds to install, but before you do this, you might have to upgrade "pip".

Normally, you can upgrade "pip" using "pip" itself:

.. code-block:: doscon

    c:\Users\you>pip install -U --force pip

But especially when you use CPython2.7, it would fail. If so, download `get-pip.py <https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py>`_ and execute it:

.. code-block:: doscon

    c:\Users\you>python get-pip.py

This upgrades "pip" to the latest.

Now, you can install or upgrade Pillow using "pip":

.. code-block:: doscon

    c:\Users\you>pip install Pillow

.. code-block:: doscon

    c:\Users\you>pip install -U Pillow
