PyInstaller is a multi-platform tool designed to convert Python (.py) files into stand-alone executable files on Windows, Linux, macOS, Solaris, and AIX.

PyInstaller is a multi-platform tool designed to convert Python (.py) files into standalone executable files on Windows, macOS, Linux, FreeBSD, Solaris, and AIX. These executable files can run on a system without Python installed, but are OS-dependent, meaning that the executable has to be generated from a machine with the same operating system than the machine in which it will run (for instance, it is not possible to generate an executable from macOS and then run it on Windows).

It is designed to be compatible with many third-party modules such as PyQt, Django or matplotlib without requiring configuration or plugins.

PyInstaller is open source software, distributed under the GPL. It works out of the box with any Python version 2.7 / 3.5-3.7.

The latest version of Pyinstaller is available on GitHub http://www.pyinstaller.org/

Usage

Install PyInstaller from PyPI:

pip install pyinstaller

Go to your program’s directory and run:

pyinstaller yourprogram.py

This will generate the bundle in a subdirectory called dist.
