Installing tkinter on ubuntu 14.04
I want to run python code on Ubuntu 14.04, but when I execute it, it gives me the following error message
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "main.py", line 2, in <module>
from tkinter import *
ImportError: No module named tkinter
Solution 1:
Try writing the following in the terminal:
sudo apt-get install python-tk
Don't forget to actually import Tkinter module at the beginning of your program:
import Tkinter
Solution 2:
If you're using Python 3
then you must install as follows:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install python3-tk
Tkinter for Python 2
(python-tk
) is different from Python 3
's (python3-tk
).
Solution 3:
To get this to work with pyenv
on Ubuntu 16.04, I had to:
$ sudo apt-get install python-tk python3-tk tk-dev
Then install the version of Python I wanted via pyenv
:
$ pyenv install 3.6.2
Then I could import tkinter just fine:
import tkinter
Solution 4:
First, make sure you have Tkinter module installed.
sudo apt-get install python-tk
In python 2 the package name is Tkinter not tkinter.
from Tkinter import *

Solution 5:
Try:
sudo apt-get install python-tk python3-tk tk-dev
If you're using python3, then Python3 virtual environment(venv) is also required. Use:
sudo apt install python3-venv
