Packaging

Package Python code with PyInstaller

• Run anaconda prompt, activate the conda environment (if you haven't done that already)
• Navigate to 'src' folder
• Run: python -m PyInstaller pysoda/api.py --distpath pysodadist

Optional

• Edit spec file as needed (e.g. exclude PyQt5, tkinter). Especially, adding the following may be required on Windows and MAC: hiddenimports=['pkg_resources.py2_warn']
• To generate exe, Run: python -m PyInstaller --noconsole api.spec --distpath pysodadist
• for electron packaging, build and pysoda folder (with the .py files) could be deleted or ignored

You can then delete the "build" folder and the api.spec file generated by PyInstaller before you move on since they are not necessary for packaging and distributing the app.

Package electron app

You can use the predefined build script to create a release for the app.

• Windows:
  

npm run build-win

• MAC:
  

npm run build-mac

• Linux:
  

npm run build-linux

If there are any errors, please check your build settings in the package.json. For more information regarding the build process and all the possible configuration options please refer to electron-builder documentation.

If you would like to fork this project and submit releases to your repository, please use the npm run deploy-<platform> command. You will also need to change the repository options to point to your repository in the package.json
