pip3.7 install formation-studio
Installation on Linux

be included by default. If you are using tkinter for the first time it is advised to install tkinter
and imagetk

sudo apt-get install python3-tk, python3-pil.imagetk

If your distribution is not Debian based you will need to subsitute the appropriate installation commands as per your distribution. Furthermore, Formation studio does not support python 2
. Please ensure you install python 3
packages only.
