In order to create an installer, we must convert the application script to executable. We can do this using pyinstaller.
Step 1: create a directory my_app.
Step 2: Create a new file my_app/app.py and copy the following contents to it:
import tkinter as tk
root = tk.Tk()
tk.Label(master=root, text="Hello world", font=("Arial", 30)).pack()
root.mainloop()
Step 3: Navigate to my_app directory and run the following command in CMD:
pip install pyinstaller
pyinstaller --onefile app.py -w
Step 4: Wait for the command to complete and open inno setup compiler.
Step 5: On the inno setup welcome screen, click "Create a new script file using the Script Wizard" and hit ok.
Step 6: Follow on screen instructions (main executable file is in my_app/dist/app.exe).
Step 7: Compile the script and done!
Just like windows, we must create an executable from our script for deb package.
Step 1: Create a directory my_app
Step 2: Create a new file my_app/app.py and copy the following contents to it:
import tkinter as tk
root = tk.Tk()
tk.Label(master=root, text="Hello world", font=("Arial", 30)).pack()
root.mainloop()
Step 3: Navigate to my_app directory and run the following command in terminal:
pip install pyinstaller
pyinstaller app.py -w
Step 4: wait for it to complete and create the following directories.
my-app_1.0.0/DEBIAN
my-app_1.0.0/my_app
my-app_1.0.0/usr/share/applications
Step 5: Create a file my-app_1.0.0/DEBIAN/control and copy the following contents into it.
Package: my-app
Version: 1.0.0
Architecture: all
Maintainer: [Your name]
Copyright: [year] [Your name]
License: MIT
Homepage: [homepage url]
Description: My deb package.
Step 6: Create a file my-app_1.0.0/usr/share/applications/my-app.desktop and copy the following contents into it.
[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Exec=/my_app/app
Hidden=false
NoDisplay=false
Name=My app
Comment=My app.
Step 7: Copy all files and folders from my_app/dist to my-app_1.0.0/my_app
Step 8: navigate to the parent directory of my-app_1.0.0 and execute the following command:
dpkg-deb --build my-app_1.0.0
Step 9: Wait for it to complete and done! You will find a deb package named my-app_1.0.0.deb
Thank you!
