Installing tkinter on ubuntu 14.04

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

python python-2.7 tkinter ubuntu-14.04

If you're using Python 3 then you must install as follows:

sudo apt-get updatesudo apt-get install python3-tk

Tkinter for Python 2 (python-tk) is different from Python 3's (python3-tk).

python python-2.7 tkinter ubuntu-14.04

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
