• Download labs_coordinate_pictures_0_33.zip

• Unzip to any writable directory and open the labs_coordinate_pictures_0_33 folder

• Install Python 3, unless it is already installed

  • For example, if you've installed python37 in the default place, open a command prompt,

  • Run python -m pip install --upgrade pip

  • Run python -m pip install pillow
