How can I install tkinter for Python on Mac?

Question

So I posted this error on a Facebook group, they said I should get pip. I installed pip, when I am wanting to install tkinter it's giving me error:

I used this command first:

sudo pip install tkinter

.
.
.
error:

ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement tkinter (from versions: none)
ERROR: No matching distribution found for tkinter

Answer 1

tkinter is part of the standard library. You don't need to install it. You can import it with import tkinter .

Answer 2

After a day of headache, this worked for me:

$ brew install python-tk

Just FYI, pip has tkinter with the name tk , so you should do

$ pip install tk

Answer 3

I've had the same issue:

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'tkinter'

After quite a while I finally realized that I needed to install the python-tk package. On Linux all I needed to do was sudo apt-get install python3-tk .

Answer 4

Thanks all, fixed my issue. The problem was with my xcode version.

Answer 5

Here's my solution

pip3 install tk
