So I posted this error on a Facebook group, they said I should get pip. I installed pip, when I am wanting to install tkinter it's giving me error:

I used this command first :

sudo pip install tkinter

.
.
.
error:

ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement tkinter (from versions: none)
ERROR: No matching distribution found for tkinter

    You can't install tkinter with pip. Whoever told you that you could is wrong. Commented Apr 14, 2020 at 22:29

After a day of headache, this worked for me:

$ brew install python-tk

pip install tk won't work for me, but brew install python-tk did.
pip install tk will install TensorKit, not tkinter.
You are the man!
Note for the future: brew install [email protected] for specific python versions (here 3.12).

I've had the same issue:

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'tkinter'

After quite a while I finally realized that I needed to install the python-tk package. On Linux all I needed to do was sudo apt-get install python3-tk.

Is that the exact error you received? From looking at askubuntu.com/questions/815874/…, I would expect the more specific one.
That's the exact error I received from python when attempting to run: import tkinter
Unfortunately, this question is about macOS, not Linux, so this answer is not really relevant.
