You are getting this error “please install the python-tk package” because you have not installed tkinter locally. You can run the install command to download and install tkinter.
Use the following command to install tkinter on Linux: apt-get install python-tk It's a little complicated to install it on the local system using the package based method. Using apt-get is the easiest way.
