[Solved] How is PyInstaller installed in Debian 12?

[Debmann]

I created a qt5 program and would like to set it up for installation in linux.

Take any deb-package and make own by this example. man dpkg-deb, man dh_builddeb.

Hello,

I created a qt5 program and would like to set it up for installation in linux.

I'm not a Python expert, but it seems that PyInstaller is not in Debian repositories.

Therefore, you might install PyInstaller in Debian according to its documentation:

I'm not a Python expert, but it seems that PyInstaller is not in Debian repositories.

@arzgi: as a standalone package, I meant.

[Debmann]

I was able to install pyinstaller by using pipx.
Now I have to figure out how to use it.
I am using 12.2 version.
