ModuleNotFoundError: No module named '_tkinter'

the exception should caught and suggestion be offered.

also, if this is a cli program why it would require Tk which is Gui widget?

Workaround install with python3.9 and install python-tk:

pip3.9 install flir-image-extractor-cli
brew install python-tk

fixed. it's both cli and gui and python-tk has been moved to extra dependacy and won't install
