Pycharm doesn't install the library Pillow

Question

I was trying to install the package Pillow in the IDE Pycharm for my proyect, but when I try it, the console shows me this traceback.

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

I don't know what can be the problem.

I alredy install Pillow using pip install Pillow but Pycharm doesn't recognize it. I read something about the venv but the reality is that I did not understand several things jajaja.

UPDATE

Maybe this is the problem, apparently I have 2 python versions installed

Answer 1

Try upgrading your pip version

python -m pip install -U --force-reinstall pip
