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

The headers or library files could not be found for zlib,
a required dependency when compiling Pillow from source.

you can run pip with `--verbose` to see more details in error. And put it in question. Without details we can't help. Maybe it has to compile some C/C++ code and it needs some C/C++ library. Or it needs C/C++ compiler and other tools for compiling. — furas, Apr 01 '22 at 02:40
Please provide enough code so others can better understand or reproduce the problem. — Community, Apr 01 '22 at 03:30
@furas i used `--verbose` but it didn't return anything that makes sense to me — JHOSEF NASCIMENTO, Apr 01 '22 at 18:37
but full code can make sense for us - but we have to see it. Last line with `zlib` headers means it try to compile some C/C++ code which need files *.h from libraray zlib - but it is not Python module so you can't install it with `pip`. On Linux I would have to install `apt install libzlib-dev` to get these file but on Windows it can make problem. So maybe it would be simpler to install precompiled module from [Unofficial Windows Binaries for Python Extension Packages](https://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/) - see [pillow](https://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#pillow) — furas, Apr 01 '22 at 21:16

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
