Hello @popa112,

its quite easy:

Install PyInstaller
First, you need to install PyInstaller. It’s recommended to do this in a virtual environment to avoid conflicts with other packages. Here’s how to install it:

pip install pyinstaller

Prepare Your PyBaMM Script
Ensure your PyBaMM script (your_script.py) is working correctly. It should include all the necessary imports and handle any data files it needs. For PyBaMM, you might be using models and solvers, so ensure all these dependencies are correctly coded in your script.

Create the Executable
Navigate to the directory containing your script and run PyInstaller:

pyinstaller --onefile your_script.py

• --onefile: Tells PyInstaller to bundle everything into a single executable. Without this flag, PyInstaller will create a folder with the executable and all dependencies inside.

This command will create a dist directory where your executable (your_script.exe on Windows) will be located.

I tried it but it could not work. Can you make an executable file of attached codes?

If your PyBaMM model uses external data files (e.g., model parameters, input data), you need to ensure these are included in the build. You can specify additional files to include with PyInstaller using the --add-data parameter. The syntax is different depending on your operating system:

On Windows:

pyinstaller --onefile --add-data "path_to_data_files;." your_script.py

I performed it but got an error. screen shot and file attached.

Open your command prompt or terminal.

Navigate to the directory where your Python script is located. Use cd to change directories if needed.

Run PyInstaller with your script name. Here's a basic command structure:

pyinstaller --onefile scriptname.py

This command tells PyInstaller to package your script (scriptname.py) into a single executable file. If your script relies on additional files (like data files or other Python scripts), you may need to include more options like --add-data to ensure all necessary files are included in the final executable.

Here’s a more complex example if you need to include extra files:

pyinstaller --onefile --add-data "path/to/datafile;." scriptname.py

This includes datafile from path/to/datafile into the same directory as the executable (;. specifies the target directory relative to the executable). But as i saw with your command you tried to add your whole Desktop, this is not possible. You can only add Files.
