That wholly depends on your Linux distribution and what tools it provides to install additional packages.
Furthermore 8.5 of tcl/tk is already quite out-of-date, current major version is 8.6 (and minor is 8.6.9). See i.e. www.tcl.tk/software/tcltk/bindist.html

@sakshi_1 : Welcome to LQ.

tcl, tk ... a normal OS setup : # yum install tcl tk
Provides /usr/lib64/{libtcl8.5.so, libtk8.5.so}, /usr/bin/{tclsh, wish}, version 8.5.13 .

RHEL 7 : The current version is 7.6 . I.e. `7.1´ is an old unsafe version.
No Redhat subscription? / license? → Migrate the repo to the free version "Redhat" CentOS 7 https://www.google.com/webhp?hl=all&...rhel+to+centos

Packages http://mirror.centos.org/centos/7.6....6_64/Packages/
( tcl-8.5.13-8.el7.x86_64, tk-8.5.13-6.el7.x86_64, etc. etc. ~8,450 packages.rpm ).
