Hi all,

I have a project called ASFR which is an attendance system using facial recognition. We used html, css and js for its GUI and used eel package to make a connection between python and javascript.
My question is , How can i use pyinstaller to generate an executable for my app? Which parameters and options should i use?

Thanks

You probably just need to collect its js/html/css files. See his answer but replace librosa with eel. If that doesn't do it, paste the full stacktrace here.

That's the build log. What does it say when you try to run the executable?

I ran command below:

python -m PyInstaller -F asfr/main/py

and got this error:

Please read the docs. They should provide sufficient information for you to solve this. We don't have the time to guide you through solving this, sorry.

Well if plain python asfr/main.py doesn't work then it's impossible for PyInstaller to magically fix it. You need to install this asfr so that Python can import it.

That ldd error is fixed in #5547. You'll need to use the development version:

pip install https://github.com/pyinstaller/pyinstaller/archive/develop.zip
