PIL installation on MAC

I am trying to install PIL in my Mac.I am using the following command:

sudo pip install pil --allow-external pil --allow-unverified pil

But it gives the following error

Command "/Users/akira/anaconda/bin/python -c "import setuptools,     tokenize;__file__='/private/tmp/pip-build-bCxMjA/pil/setup.py';exec(compile(getattr(tokenize, 'open', open)(__file__).read().replace('\r\n', '\n'), __file__, 'exec'))" install --record /tmp/pip-YwCGxg-record/install-record.txt --single-version-externally-managed --compile" failed with error code 1 in /private/tmp/pip-build-bCxMjA/pil

Please note that,I have condo installed in my system.I am not able to install PIL in my system in any means.Please help me with this.I have browsed many links,But no solution works for me.

I had a similar problem when i upgrade my pip,here is what i did(Mac OS 10.11, python ver 2.7.11).

1.Download PIl : http://www.pythonware.com/products/pil/ (ver1.1.6 more compatible with python 2.7,ver1.1.7 have many problems)

2.Run this code in your terminal(cd to your download directory)

$ tar xvfz Imaging-1.1.6.tar.gz
$ cd Imaging-1.1.6
$ python setup.py install

3.Use 'pip list' to check your PIL.and if your install pillow,you can only use one of them.so if you want to use PIL only , uninstall pillow by 

sudo -s    
pip uninstall pillow

Why are you using pip if you have conda installed? I installed it simply with the command:

conda install pil

Or if you want the latest version (since PIL is now called pillow):

conda install pillow
