I am a pretty newby when it comes to python and because I can not install proper VS Code on my work notebook I am using Codespace in the browser to work on some programs to help with data evaluation.
Yesterday I asked about the size of TIF images when I use PIL to combine them. I learned about compression and that I need libtiff library for it.
I tried the classic way of installing it with pip install libtiff So far this has worked for a lot of packages. But this time it raises an error and I don't understand a thing. I found some people talking about having problems isntalling libtiff but this was after installing it: Python cannot find LibTIFF library, even though LibTIFF is already installed
Also I never installed a package manualy and I am not so familiar with comand lines. And I am only in the codespace/github online enviroment which makes things looking even more complicated.
The full output of the installation process was quite long so i shortened it down to what I hope are important parts. I have installed numpy before.
Defaulting to user installation because normal site-packages is not writeable
