PyInstaller Quickstart

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. Adding -F (or --onefile) parameter will pack everything into single "exe".

pyinstaller -F yourprogram.py

The --noconsole flag will disable a console opening when excuting the .exe

pyinstaller -F --noconsole yourprogram.py

Adding -F (or --onefile) parameter will pack everything into single "exe" and --noconsole will not show the terminal when running the exe.

pyinstaller -F --paths=<your_path>\Lib\site-packages yourprogram.py

running into "ImportError" you might consider side-packages.

pip install pynput==1.6.8
