Installation

You need to install python3 and tkinter. Check the Tk docs to check and verify if the latest version is installed. Then, execute the following

  $ cd src
  $ python3 tourtheturtle.py

Issues

If you get an error for tkinter

$ python3 tourtheturtle.py
     .....
	File "/usr/lib/python3.10/turtle.py", line 107, in <module>
     import tkinter as TK

What did not work (on Ubuntu jammy - 22.04)

$ pip install tkinter
Defaulting to user installation because normal site-packages is not writeable
ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement tkinter (from versions: none)
ERROR: No matching distribution found for tkinter

Solution (that worked for me)

$ sudo apt-get install python3-tk
