Issue installing Pillow using pipenv

I cannont install Pillow using pipenv. I am new to virtual environments and wanted to set one up for my current project. I have a web app using Flask and Pillow. In order to follow best practice I should be using a virtual environment. I chose pipenv as a YouTube Channel I like suggested using it. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCCezIgC97PvUuR4_gbFUs5g 

Windows 10 
Bash
pipenv
python 3.6

I've tried the followging:

pipenv install Pillow
python3 -m pipenv install Pillow
and many others....

I would expect Pillow to be installed. I know there are other virtual environments I could try. I want to use a good current system. It sounds like pipenv may be the future.

Anyone using pipenv have an idea? Or is it "use virtual environment X"?

Solution

  • Solved: Not sure exactly how I solved it but updating everything may have fixed it. I updated conda and all pip files. The next day it worked. 

    conda update --all

    Pip update all found here.
