Under Windows, you need to select `tkinter` when installing Python. The command you posted is for Linux systems. — acw1668, Sep 10 '20 at 04:50
It is not a command. It is one of the option to include `tkinter` when installing Python. — acw1668, Sep 10 '20 at 04:53
check my answer. You must have messed up while installing Tkinter. You don't have to install Tkinter in order to use it. It comes with your Python installation. — thatguy_001, Sep 10 '20 at 04:58

Tkinter is inbuilt in Python

You should use pip for installing modules

You should use cmd to type in any pip commands

for example:-

  pip install "module_name"

enter the module name without the quotes

Did you add pip to your PATH system variable? – Praveen Sep 10 '20 at 04:53

Not sure, but I guess you have to use `python -m pip install module-name`. – Ramasamy Kandasamy Sep 10 '20 at 05:08
@SHikhaMittal please make sure if pip is installed in your system. If it is not installed please check this out: https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/installing/#id10 – Ramasamy Kandasamy Sep 10 '20 at 05:10
I use pip everyday, if u add pip to your PATH system variable you could directly start from pip without typing "python -m" – Praveen Sep 10 '20 at 05:11

Okay, so here's what you need to do. Use the control panel to uninstall your python and then install the latest version. Write this code in any IDE to verify your python and Tkinter installation:

from tkinter import *
print("Success!")
