Answer 1

Follow this guide to install "tkinter". However now with Python version 3.1 onwards, it is part of the standard python distribution.

You can also install it using sudo apt-get install python3-tk-dbg, if you are in virtualenv. (Same can be done for normal installation, not just virtualenv)

Answer 2

the below answer in for Windows:

after installing Tk in your windows machine by following the instructions mentioned in the following link (https://tkdocs.com/tutorial/install.html#installwin), import tkinter as tk (for python3) or import Tkinter as tk (for python2). FYI - 'Tkinter' has been renamed as 'tkinter' in python3. It worked well for me.
