Make sure Python-development packages are installed, if not then install it using the following commands :

For Ubuntu

sudo apt-get install python3-dev python3-setuptools

For Fedora

sudo dnf install python-devel

After installing the development packages install the following :

For Ubuntu

sudo apt-get install libtiff5-dev libjpeg8-dev zlib1g-dev \
libfreetype6-dev liblcms2-dev libwebp-dev tcl8.6-dev tk8.6-dev python-tk

For Fedora

sudo dnf install libtiff-devel libjpeg-devel libzip-devel freetype-devel \
lcms2-devel libwebp-devel tcl-devel tk-devel
