How to install Tkinter for Python on Linux?

Tkinter is one of the widely used libraries for creating GUI-based applications. In order to create applications using Tkinter, we have to install and import the library in the notebook.

First, we have to install the tkinter library in our local environment based on the Windows or Linux operating system.

For Windows users −

pip install tkinter

or

pip install tk
