Pillow is not compiled with JPEG support - Installing Django Cms

I'm trying to get Django Cms to work on my system. Following the Django-CMS tutorial: https://github.com/divio/django-cms-tutorial

I had to install pillow, but now when i run:

$ djangocms -p . my_demo

and fill in all the options i get the following error:

While searching the web i found that i had to install libjpeg.

Even after doing so i got the same error. Now i don't get it to work and i really want to get working with Django CMS. quite sure i did something wrong while installing libjpeg. But i'm now quite sure how to get going now!

Solution

  • Has a similar problem. Here is how I proceeded to get rid of it.

    1. Install Pillow with all of the necessary dependences. You can refer to this link If you are running on mac, it's simply type the following commands $ brew install libtiff libjpeg webp little-cms2 $ pip install Pillow

    2. If you observe well, you will notice that there has been an error when the program tried to reach github.com/divio/django-cms/archive/3.0c2.zip You need to remove the "c2" to remain with github.com/divio/django-cms/archive/3.0.zip

    To edit that, go to /env/lib/python2.7/site-packages/djangocms_installer/config Where env is the environment you are using(if you are using virtualenv. Just find your site-packages directory)

    Open data.py and change the 7th line as described above. You may need to change permissions of the file to be able to edit it.

    From now on, it should be working well.

    Hope it helps.
