title: Installing Pillow on Python 3.8 Windows
body: <p><strong>I am trying to install Pillow (7.1.2) on python (3.8 32bit) running on Windows.</strong></p>
  
  <p><strong>The instructions</strong> at *(<a href="https://pillow.readthedocs.io/en/latest/installation.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://pillow.readthedocs.io/en/latest/installation.html</a>) say:
  "
  *Windows Installation
  We provide Pillow binaries for Windows compiled for the matrix of supported Pythons in both 32 and 64-bit versions in the wheel format. These binaries have all of the optional libraries included except for <code>raqm</code>, <code>libimagequant</code>, and <code>libxcb</code>:</p>
  
  <pre><code>python3 -m pip install --upgrade pip
  
  python3 -m pip install --upgrade Pillow
  </code></pre>
  
  <p><strong>I tried</strong> writing 
  <code>pip install --upgrade pip</code> and <code>pip install --upgrade Pillow</code>
  But whatever I write I get back an error: </p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>"SyntaxError: invalid syntax"</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>I am a bit new to python, maybe I'm missing something?
  I read elsewhere that I need to install XCode first? maybe that's the problem?
  If someone could explain what I'm doing wrong? do I need XCode? what is XCode?</p>
  
  <p>thanks! :)</p>
