Building Pyinstaller Packages Locally

We use Pyinstaller to build executables that do not require Python to be installed on a system. These are built by Travis CI for distribution to ensure a consistent environment but they can also be build locally for testing.

Prerequisites

These need to be installed globally.

Process

  1. Export OS_NAME environment variable for your system (ubuntu-18.04, macos-10.15, or windows-latest).

  2. Execute make build-pyinstaller-file or make build-pyinstaller-folder from the root of the repo.

The output of these commands can be found in ./artifacts
