How to install PyInstaller? [closed]

Question

(I'm on Windows.)

I want to use PyInstaller. I could always create bin files with pyinstaller.py [args].

• It's not a package with an __init__.py file,
• it has no setup.py
• and it doesn't work to create a folder, put it in my PYTHONPATH, put pyinstaller\[files] in that folder and then make a call to python pyinstaller\pyinstaller.py.

pyinstaller.org only tells me something with Configure.py.

So now I'm out of ideas how to install PyInstaller so that I don't have to work with absolute paths. Do you have any ideas?

Answer 1

To install PyInstaller:

1. Go to your command prompt (Start -> Run -> cmd)
2. type the following command cd c:\python27\scripts press enter, this should be where your pip.exe file is located.
3. Once you are in this directory type pip install pyinstaller press enter

Message should read Successfully installed pyinstaller.

Answer 2

To install pyInstaller you must first run python Configure.py in the pyInstaller directory. To create an exe you must copy the script to the pyInstaller directory, and run python Makespec.py script.py after you have run that run python Build.py script/script.spec (these commands assume you have the python directory in your path, the command prompt is in the pyInstaller directory and that your script is called script.py.)
