How to install Tkinter in Python?
Tkinter is a standard library in Python which is used for GUI application. Tkinter has various controls which are used to build a GUI-based application.
To install Tkinter, we need Python pre-installed. Tkinter actually comes along when we install Python. While installing Python, we need to check the td/tk and IDLE checkbox. This will install the tkinter and we need not install it separately.
However, if we missed installing Tkinter while installing Python, we can do it later using the pip command.
Step 1 − Make sure Python and pip is preinstalled on your system
