Why is there no tkinter distribution found?

Question

I am having a problem during the installation of tkinter. I have version 2.7.11. I entered the pip install tkinter on dos but it shows the following message:

Answer 1

You should install

apt-get install python-tk

This should solve your issue

Answer 2

pip shown Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement python--tkinter (from versions: ) No matching distribution found for python--tkinter You are using pip version 10.0.1, however version 19.0.3 is available. You should consider upgrading via the python -m pip install --upgrade pip command.

Answer 3

to find your package run:

sudo yum search python|grep tk

mine was:

yum install python3-tkinter.x86_64

Answer 4

The Tkinter library comes in default with every Python installation

Try this:

import Tkinter as tk

Answer 5

I was able to fix this on Amazon Linux 2 with python2.7 by running this sudo yum install python-tools -y command.

Answer 6

I had to install python3-tk manually before it worked (via apt-get)
