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!
