Using an executable file

warning

Using the executable file is NOT RECOMENDED. Windows Defender gives false warnings for a virus (trojan). Also some browsers prevent you from dowloading it. This is because it is not signed. Signing it would cost money.

Usage​

Download the latest release from the GitHub repository's "Releases" section, or build the application from source code.

Building​

  1. Clone the repository.
git clone https://github.com/PetarMc1/combination-generator
  1. Install PyInstaller.

If you haven't installed PyInstaller yet, you can install it via pip:

pip install pyinstaller
  1. Run PyInstaller command.

Use PyInstaller to convert the script into a .exe file with the --windowed flag to hide the console window.

pyinstaller --onefile --windowed --icon=Assets/logo.ico --add-data "Assets/logo.ico;Assets" combination_generator.py

This command will create an executable file (combination_generator.exe) without a console window when opened.

  1. Find the .exe.

Once PyInstaller has finished, navigate to the dist directory inside the repo directory. You will find the executable (.exe) file (combination_generator.exe) in this directory.
