Installation Packaging

This project utilizes InstallForge to create an installer for the application. The packaging process was guided by a tutorial from Python GUIs.

Steps to Package the Application

  1. Prepare the Application:

    • Ensure your Python script is working correctly.
    • Place any required files (e.g., icons, additional resources) in the appropriate directories.

  2. Using PyInstaller:

    • Open Visual Studio Code.
    • Install pyinstaller if not already installed: 
      pip install pyinstaller
    • Create a spec file for your application: 
      pyinstaller --name "PY_FileEditor" --onefile main.py
    • This will generate a dist folder containing your executable.

  3. Create an Installer with InstallForge:

    • Download and install InstallForge from their official website.
    • Open InstallForge and create a new project.
    • Add your executable and any other required files to the project.
    • Configure the installer settings (e.g., installation directory, shortcuts).
    • Build the installer.

Additional Notes

  • Ensure you test the installer on different Windows versions to check compatibility.
  • Regularly update your packaging process to incorporate any new dependencies or changes in the application structure.

Thank you for following the guidelines to package and distribute the Junior Professional File Editor application.
