    Try: `pip install Pillow` – Malik Brahimi Dec 29 '15 at 00:56
  • That worked. I take it that `Pillow` is a requirement here? If you could add explanation as answer - will mark it as the answer then. – user1406716 Dec 29 '15 at 01:02
  • there are some packages that requires before installing the Pyautogui, refer to below link and follow instruction for your OS: https://pyautogui.readthedocs.io/en/latest/install.html – Ali Taheri Jun 19 '18 at 07:25

The error message is just as it reads. You need the Pillow port of the PIL library as a dependency:

pip install Pillow # a popular port of the Python Imaging Library, which is needed here

I resolved the problem by using the command pip3 install pyautogui from the console terminal window of the workstation. The cause of the error is that before doing that I was trying to use an SSH terminal window to install the software remotely. The SSH terminal window environment does not support a window system.
