How do I install Pillow on my mac without pip?
I installed python using homebrew. It didn't come with pip, so I'm having trouble getting pillow installed. I tried to get xcode and build it from the source, but I can't get xcode because it requires software version 1.14 (or whichever the newest version is), but my macbook doesn't update to this. How do I get pillow?
You can install pip very easily (Though I think it should come with most python builds now.) using the following commands:
curl https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py -o get-pip.py
python get-pip.py
In fact, you shouldn't even need homebrew to install python. You can get the latest versions of python 2 and python 3 as macos installer packages. Even without installing python, MacOS does include an (old) version of python 2.7 by default.
Once you've installed pip, you can type:
pip install Pillow
Also, I think you should still be able to download a version of Xcode compatible with your OS version.
