Instructions

  1. Make sure to have pyinstaller installed, i.e. run pip install pyinstaller, or in a conda environment you can run conda install pyinstaller
  2. Download example.py and example.spec into the same directory
  3. From that directory run pyinstaller example.spec (note, run on the spec file)
  4. That will create a subdirectory path dist/example go there and you can run the example

Note: This directory may contain other libraries, depending on your operating system, so it probably can only be run from that directory.
