How to Install/Import Tkinter in Jupyter Notebook

If you want to use Tkinter, the standard GUI toolkit for Python, in your Jupyter Notebook, you will need to install and import it properly.

Step 1: Install Tkinter

First, you need to make sure that Tkinter is installed on your system. If you are using Anaconda, Tkinter should already be installed. If not, you can install it using the following command in your terminal or command prompt:

pip install tk

Step 2: Import Tkinter in Jupyter Notebook

Once Tkinter is installed, you can import it in your Jupyter Notebook like this:

import tkinter as tk

Now you can start creating GUI applications using Tkinter in your Jupyter Notebook.

Example:

Here is a simple example of how to create a window using Tkinter in a Jupyter Notebook:


import tkinter as tk

root = tk.Tk()
label = tk.Label(root, text="Hello, Tkinter!")
label.pack()
root.mainloop()


After running the above code in your Jupyter Notebook, you should see a window with the text “Hello, Tkinter!” displayed.

With Tkinter installed and imported in your Jupyter Notebook, you can now explore the possibilities of creating interactive and user-friendly GUI applications using Python.
