Install Turtle Python library on Windows 11

Turtle comes pre-installed with the Python standard library. Therefore, just install Python on your system, and there will be no need to install Turtle separately. While installing Python, we will also install IDLE, which is a free IDE to run Python programs.

Here is the video to install Python and IDLE on Windows 11. We will install Python from the official website, python.org:


Now, after installing Python and IDLE, go to START, type IDLE, and open it as shown below:

IDLE opened successfully:

I already told you above that Turtle comes pre-installed; therefore, let us verify by typing “import turtle” on IDLE. Press Enter, and no error will be visible as shown below:

Turtle available with Python installation

The above shows that the Turtle is part of Python’s standard library, which means it comes bundled with most official Python distributions, including the one you get when installing Python via python.org.

So, when you launch IDLE (which itself is included in the standard installation), you can immediately start using turtle without any extra setup or pip installs. That’s why the above import turtle command worked right out of the gate in the IDLE Shell.
