can't install the pillow library on my first attempt to add an ImageField to my model

[aseds]

hi,

 this is the first time i tried and added an ImageField to my model. then i did makemigrations

./manage.py makemigrations

but it said that i should do:

pip install pillow

(the django documentation says it's a required library too...)

doing so, it gave me some errors:

You need to install the development python package for your distro

For example, in Ubuntu

sudo apt-get install python-dev

in Fedora

sudo yum install python-devel

so, should i change the Permission for "dist-packages"?? is it safe to run the below command?

chmod 777 dist-packages

or what should i do?

Since you are using the system-wide python installation you need to run pip as superuser

sudo pip install pillow

You could also create a virtualenv instead of installing packages system-wide, which is the recommended way of creating development environments.
