Deb packaging

Hello everyone,

These days i'm working to find a way to deploy my programs, but sometimes it's a bit tricky.
I'm using PyInstaller. 👍 🌙 🌉

.Deb packaging:

First, you will need to Install PyInstaller:
sudo pip3 install PyInstaller

Then, go into the project folder and type this:

sudo pyinstaller -F <main.py>

For a standard program :

• All the modules must be at the Root folder of the project before compiling all the project.

After all :

• Follow the tutorial from the Step 4 at this link: http://www.bitstream.io/packaging-and-distributing-a-kivy-application-on-linux.html

For a kivy program :

• (*)The KV file must be in the same folder as the executable that has been producted by PyInstaller and/or should be use inside the main script which use it.

• At the Step 4, don't forget to put in the same folder the executable with the kivyfile.kv for Kivy programs .

• AND THEN : Follow the tutorial from the Step 4 at this link: http://www.bitstream.io/packaging-and-distributing-a-kivy-application-on-linux.html

The Reason why I don't want to deploy my kivy progams, is that there is always a problem with a OpenGL drivers somewhere on any kind of plateform use (PC/RPI).
Maybe later they will find the problem and fix it but today it's just frustrating!

Using PyInstaller

Hello everyone,

Today i'm working to find a way to deploy my programs, but sometimes it's a bit tricky.
For now, i'm using PyInstaller. 👍 🌙 🌉

cmd: sudo pyinstaller -F <file.py>

//
So as I tested :

• All the modules must be at the Root folder of the project before compiling all the project.
  That's strange, I must work more on that!!!

For a kivy program :

• (*)The KV file must be in the same folder as the executable that has been producted by PyInstaller and/or should be use inside the main script which use it.

After all :

• Follow the tutorial from the Step 4 at this link: http://www.bitstream.io/packaging-and-distributing-a-kivy-application-on-linux.html
  -(*)ALSO: At the Step 4, don't forget to put in the same folder the executable with the kivyfile.kv for Kivy programs //Maybe the Kv file (.kv) should be integrated directly inside the main script ?

Thank you all,
