# Installation
guizero is designed to allow new learners to quickly and easily create GUIs for their programs.
If you can download and unzip a file, you can [install guizero](#easy-installation) - **no special permissions or administrator rights are required**.
If you have administrator rights and are connected to the internet, you can use [pip to quickly install guizero](#install-using-pip).
guizero only requires `tkinter` to be installed, which is included with a standard Python installation on all platforms except Linux.
