Pillow Not installing on Apple Silicon

I am having a nightmare of a time installing Pillow on my apple silicon. Everytime I attempt to install it, it throws a truly massive error which I have posted below. It says wheel is not installed but it is installed. It also says to refer to the Pillow page which I have done. I also installed homebrew and tried it that way. I really like this labtop and the m1 chip but if I need Pillow and python to work. Can anyone help me??

Collecting Pillow
  Using cached Pillow-8.1.0.tar.gz (44.9 MB)
Using legacy 'setup.py install' for Pillow, since package 'wheel' is not installed.

Answer

Had the same issue on a M1 machine, running pip inside a VENV.

The solution appeared to be simple, I needed to upgrade pip*:

python3 -m pip install --upgrade pip
