# Bitrise Build Issue Report template

## Description of the issue

The dependency cannot be resolved because the pip version is old.  
I want to use Python Pillow. However, the installation fails.

## Environment:

linux-docker-android

- BITRISE\_DOCKER\_REV\_NUMBER\_BASE: v2019\_12\_12\_1

## Reproducibility

Always happens when run on [Bitrise.io](http://Bitrise.io).

### Local reproduction

Reproduced in this environment.  
MacOS: 10.15.1  
Python: 2.7.12  
pip: 8.1.1

`$ pip install Pillow`  
Updating pip to the latest version (19.3.1) solved the problem.

## Build log

You are using pip version 8.1.1, however version 19.3.1 is available.
You should consider upgrading via the 'pip install --upgrade pip' command.

```

Hi there,

Thank you for reaching out.

I was able to reproduce the behaviour and have reached out internally to have this fixed in the general image. In the meantime, please use this workaround:

```auto
    - script@1.1.5:
        title: Upgrade pip
        inputs:
        - content: pip install -U pip
    - script@1.1.5:
        inputs:
        - content: pip install Pillow

```

Please don’t hesitate to follow-up if you have any other questions.
