Hey guys! How's it going? In this video I'll be showing you how to create a .exe in Pycharm using Python. Cool right? Let me know how it goes in the comment section below!
You are a hero, thank you a bunch . I had just commented on a similar video but with an approach towards cmd and I kept on getting errors. Once again nice video
to do this in the newer versions you have to 1) Install python to path and add to environment variables (WEB NOT MICROSOFT) 2) Open cmd 3) Type "cd (your code location)" make sure to remove the parenthesis and quotes 4) Now just follow the video but type the commands in cmd 5) If your game crashes on start, drag all the necessary files such as pictures into the "dist" folder 6) OPTIONAL: add -w after --onefile to have the cmd prompt off 7) Don't call me a nerd thanks
I've got a lot more dependencies. Multiple tkinter windows via button prompts from a single one. Added all the dependencies to the same folder. Still crashes lol
simple and effective video, but I'm kinda curious if the program will still work if I don't install certain libs when using it's exe in another computer. help is greatly appreciated and again a very nice video, keep up the work.
Thanks for the info BTW, sometimes python .exe files close immediately, if that happens use this command at the end of the program. input("Press enter to close program")
How to Solve: 'pip' is not recognized as internal or external. 1. My computer > Right Click > Properties 2. Advanced System Configurations 3. Environment Variables 4. Select the "Path" variable and click "Edit" 5. Select "New" and paste the folder path for the python "scripts" folder (In my case, the folder is located in: C:\Users\MC Don Juan\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python311\Scripts) 6. After that, click "OK" and "OK" 7. Go to the cmd and type pip install pyinstaller and everything should work correctly now.
If you're having a problem with Windows Defender blocking/deleting your exe file, I found that using --onedir instead of --onefile fixed my issue. Would be nice to have it in one exe but this worked for me

If it is not working for you, you have to click the little arrow right by the plus in the terminal, click "command prompt", and then do it again. That fixed it for me.
Hi there. Thanks for the video, it's very useful and well explained. I am having the exact issue you described with antivirus progs. I'm new to Python, so forgive my noobness. If this is not the best way, what is the preferred method to share a script with somebody who does not have python installed on their system like a client or boss ?

Good explanation. But you mentioned this is not the production way, since on many computers, it will be flagged as virus. So what would be the “official” way to release a software developed in python?

In Pycharm, if I go to File>>Settings>>My Project Folder>>Python Interpreter, it says I have pip installed. However, if I type "pip install pyinstaller" in the Terminal, it says "pip" is not recognized as an internal or external command. Do you know what I am doing wrong? Edit: I had to fix the path in Environment Variables
@Unkown Make sure you have the path to the scripts of your installed version of python added into Path in your system environment variables (i.e. C:\Users\...\Python\Python310\Scripts ) This solved the problem in my case
@@idanavni_ In the System dialog box, click Advanced system settings. On the Advanced tab of the System Properties dialog box, click Environment Variables. In the System Variables box of the Environment Variables dialog box, scroll to Path and select it.

I 'm on Windows 11 and I've been trying to turn my python file into an executable file but every time I try to open it it just immediately closes. Am I doing something wrong or does it have to do with the Windows 11?
Try opening CMD, going to the directory the executable is in (cd C:/path/to/folder), and typing the name of the executable. It might be an error, or that you didn't make it wait at the end of execution.
if you want to save but don't want the giant cmd window opening every time you run the file just add "--noconsole" after "--onefile"
or -w
or -w
or -w
or -w
or --windowed
