Creating an executable from a Pycharm Python Project

Question

How can I take all scripts and files in my Python project directory and create a single executable. I have tried using this: How do I create an executable file out of a PyCharm project using PyInstaller? but it does not work. I have developed the project in PyCharm and I am using Python 3.4.

Your error traceback is almost unreadable. Please edit your question and paste the error message as text. — baduker, Mar 22 '18 at 09:35
_"C:\...\PyInstaller.exe is not recognized as an internal or external command"_ -> Have you tried entering the _correct_ path instead? — Aran-Fey, Mar 22 '18 at 09:37
Where is PyInstaller.exe stored though as i cannot find it in the PyInstaller folder — GreenCoder90, Mar 22 '18 at 09:38
Try to run `pip install pyinstaller` to install pyinstaller. — Gsk, Mar 22 '18 at 09:41
Ok. The error I am getting now is "pyinstaller-script.py: error: the following arguments are required: scriptname" But if my project folder contains 37 files, what do I do?, what script do I specify? — GreenCoder90, Mar 22 '18 at 09:47
What i need to do is put all the listed files in the cmd snippet above into 1 executable. — GreenCoder90, Mar 23 '18 at 15:40

You can use cx_Freeze it's the same way that py2exe and py2app. It supports python 2.7 or highter or you can use Pyinstaller that binds in an executable all the stuff. You can download it using the following command:

pip install pyinstaller

Or you can download it from the website
