Pillow Installation Windows 11
I am trying to install Pillow library but keep on getting errors. I thought it was some pip install like many others but i can't get rid of this error. Kept on searching on the internet and it turns out that pillow uses external libraries like libjpeg and zlib. Tried to install them but does not work either. I have the latest python version installed and pip is updated too. Tried pip install --upgrade setuptools wheel to upgrade those packages. I use Windows 11. I paste the complete message error just in case it helps.

ERROR: Failed to build installable wheels for some pyproject.toml based projects (pillow)
I tried to install a previous version of Pillow, i tried to uninstall and reinstall and then couldn´t get any solution. I am not sure if zlib and libjpeg are successfully installed, just went into the GnuWin32 website and downloaded 'source'.
