    Hi. I'm guessing that you're either on 32-bit Windows 10, or you're running 32-bit Python (to check that you're running 32-bit Python, you can try import sys;print(sys.maxsize) and see if it returns 2147483647).

    As of Pillow 10.0.0, we stopped providing wheels for 32-bit Windows. Because it cannot find a wheel, pip is attempting to build Pillow from source on your machine, and failing to find zlib, one of our required dependencies. For more information on how to build from source, see https://pillow.readthedocs.io/en/stable/installation.html#building-from-source

    Alternatively, you can install Pillow 9.5.0, the last version with 32-bit Windows wheels, with pip install pillow==9.5.0. However, this is not recommended, as you would miss out on security fixes that we have provided since then.

    After lots of trial and error i found the solution

    sudo apt-get install libjpeg-dev zlib1g-dev
 pip3 install Pillow
 sudo pip install -U setuptools
