How to pip install tkinter

Question

I use pip install python-tk but have an error ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement python-tk (from versions: none) ERROR: No matching distribution found for python-tk

If you are on Linux you probably want to install tkinter using `sudo apt-get install python3-tk` or similar for your distro (you may need to search for the exact name of the package but it should be there) — Rolv Apneseth, Oct 17 '21 at 11:31

Tkinter isn't distributed through pip; if it didn't come pre-packaged with Python, you have to get it from elsewhere:

Ubuntu

sudo apt-get install python3-tk

Fedora

sudo dnf install python3-tkinter

MacOS

brew install python-tk

Firstly Make sure Python and pip is preinstalled on your system. Type the following commands in command prompt to check is python and pip is installed on your system.

To check Python:

python --version

If python is successfully installed, the version of python installed on your system will be displayed.

To check pip

pip -V

The version of pip will be displayed, if it is successfully installed on your system.

Now Install Tkinter

Tkinter can be installed using pip. The following command is run in the command prompt to install Tkinter.

pip install tk

This command will start downloading and installing packages related to the Tkinter library. Once done, the message of successful installation will be displayed.

The package `tk` is not tkinter, it's tensorkit. You can't install tkinter with pip. – Bryan Oakley Oct 18 '21 at 15:38
