Welcome to python!

Try simply pip3 install tk-tools. There is a repository called the Python Package Index which stores the packages which is super easy to use. The pip3 should get it from there. Note that I'm stating pip3 instead of pip because in many linux distributions, pip will get you python 2 and not python 3.

If you wish to install from the repository, then you will have to git clone </repository/url> and run python3 setup.py install from inside the directory. The setup.py is really intended for developers, thus, there are more installs required to place the development tools in-place.

I haven't worked with recent raspberry pi distributions, but there was a time which you had to also run sudo apt-get install python3-tk to get access to tk. Good luck!
