Automate Pillow System Library Installation on Linux

Many developers run into issues installing the Python Imaging Library (Pillow) on Linux. The common error is 'failed building wheel', often because essential system development libraries and headers are missing.

Pillow Build Fix for Linux is a script designed to address this. It automates the process of installing these necessary system packages across different Linux distributions. Before you run pip install Pillow, you can run this script to ensure your environment is set up correctly. This saves time and reduces frustration when setting up Python projects that rely on image processing capabilities.

This tool is for anyone using Linux who needs to install Pillow and has encountered build errors or wants to proactively set up their environment. It simplifies the setup process, allowing you to focus on your code rather than dependency management.
