title: Django - how to Install Python Image Library (PIL)
body: <p>I want to use the ImageField for forms and according to the documentation, it said I need to install the Python Imaging Library:</p>
  
  <p><a href="http://www.pythonware.com/products/pil/" rel="nofollow">http://www.pythonware.com/products/pil/</a></p>
  
  <p>It says that the current free version is PIL 1.1.7, so I decided to go for that. I am using Lubuntu (Linux) and the only Non-WindowsOnly installation is the</p>
  
  <p>Python Imaging Library 1.1.7 Source Kit</p>
  
  <p>so I decided to click and install that .tar.gz file. I know have the Imaging-1.1.7.tar.gz file in my downloads folder. Can someone tell me / show me a site which explains how I can now link it with Django? Where should I extract the file?</p>
