I tried to install Tkinter in python. But I cannot install it

Question

I want to install Tkinter in python 2.7.9 I tried sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install python-tk i even tried to upgrade python so as to install Tkinter but that didn't work either. Everytime i try to install this is what comes

sudo apt-get install python-tk

Reading package lists... Done

Building dependency tree  

Reading state information... Done

Package python-tk is not available, but is referred to by another package.

This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source

E: Package 'python-tk' has no installation candidate

Which release of Ubuntu are you running? – user535733 Jan 04 '18 at 16:47 — user535733, Jan 04 '18 at 16:47

You're running a version of Ubuntu that reached EOL in 2016, Ubuntu 15.04. Follow this guide to upgrade to a supported release of Ubuntu, or simply do a fresh install of the latest supported releases, 16.04 (LTS) or 17.10. Then try:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install python-tk
