ApicoAP / Instructions for converting ApicoAP_GUI.py to MAC OS X compatible .app file

View History
  • Download pyinstaller 1.5 from http://www.pyinstaller.org/
  • First, unpack the archives (pyinstaller-1.5.zip and ApicoAP.zip) on your path of choice. (Installer is not a Python package, so it doesn't need to go in site-packages)
  • Open the Terminal app, change directories to the location of "pyinstaller-1.5", and type the following commands in order:
python Configure.py
python Makespec.py --onefile pathToApicoAp/ApicoAP_GUI.py

Note: pathToApicoAp in this command should be replaced by the path ApicoAP_GUI.py resides. This command will prepare a spec file, and the path/name of the prepared spec file will be printed to the screen, this path/name should be provided to the next command

  • Before running the next command, add the following lines at the end of the spec file prepared with the previous command:
#!python
import sys
if sys.platform.startswith("darwin"):
    app = BUNDLE(exe,
                 name=os.path.join('dist', 'NAME.app'),
                 version=version)

and run the following command:

python Build.py pathToSpecfile/specfile

Note: pathToSpecfile/specfile in this command should be replaced by the path/name of the spec file prepared by the last command. These commands should create a folder under "pyinstaller-1.5" folder named "apicoAp". Under "apicoAp/dist" folder, apicoAp.app should reside. Copy this file under the folder "apicoAp" (in which apicoAP_GUI.py resides) and launch it from there.
