I've been trying to use Pyautogui at Ubuntu, but I simply can't make it work, while I have no trouble doing it at Windows. It doesn't matter what dependency I install, everytime I try to use Pyautogui, it returns:

NOTE: You must install Tkinter on Linux to use MouseInfo. Run the following: sudo apt-get install python3-tk python3-dev

And if I try: sudo apt-get install python3-tk python3-dev

python3-dev is already the newest version (3.8.2-0ubuntu2).
python3-tk is already the newest version (3.8.5-1~20.04.1).
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove, and 0 not upgraded.

And if I try: pip3 install pyautogui

That package is a bit weird. This might fix your issue:

sudo apt-get install python-tk
user_48325150

NOTE: You must install Tkinter on Linux to use MouseInfo. Run the following: sudo apt-get install python3-tk python3-dev

i had this problem too, even with sudo apt-get install python3-tk python3-dev it ditn't work.

firstly try to run this command specifying python version, for example, in python 3.10:

sudo apt-get install python3.10-tk python3-dev

so after hours of despair i found this link topic how to install tkinter for python 3.8

basically i solved my problem by doing this:

recompile and reinstall python3.10 specifying path to folders with tcl, tk includes and libraries

sudo apt install build-essential zlib1g-dev libncurses5-dev libgdbm-dev libnss3-dev libssl-dev libreadline-dev libffi-dev python-tk python3-tk tk-dev

reinstall python 3.10

wget https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.10.0/Python-3.10.0.tgz
tar -xvf Python-3.10.0.tgz

edit configure

cd Python-3.10.0
vim ./configure

search for with-tcltk-includes/with-tcltk-libs and replace part in "...", looking like this:

--with-tcltk-includes='-I/usr/include' 
--with-tcltk-libs='-L/usr/lib'

hint: for search in vim \phrase to search

then run

./configure
make -j2    
sudo make install
sudo ./configure --with-tcltk-includes='-I/usr/include -I/usr/include/tcl' --with-tcltk-libs='-L/usr/lib -ltcl -ltk' --enable-optimizations

note: replace 2 on command "make -j2" by number of processor cores
