hi, I just install the requirements and all but when I run the command this error comes up, I'm running python 3.8.2 on macOS

Whapa only works in Windows and Linux. It has never tested in MacOs.

Now it's been tested on macOS and it clearly didn't work. I'm getting the same error.

The version of Tkinker (8.5.9) that comes with Mac OS is old and buggy.

Downloads from python.org include a recent version of tkinker.

Note: Installing python from Brew will not symlink a new version of Tcl-tk. If you wish to install via the command line, try:
brew install pyenv
echo -e 'if command -v pyenv 1>/dev/null 2>&1; then\n eval "$(pyenv init -)"\nfi' >> ~/.zshrc
env PYTHON_CONFIGURE_OPTS="--with-tcltk-includes='-I/usr/local/opt/tcl-tk/include' --with-tcltk-libs='-L/usr/local/opt/tcl-tk/lib -ltcl8.6 -ltk8.6' --enable-shared" pyenv install 3.9.1 (replace 3.9.1 with the latest python version)
