Build Program

How to Build

Build with Windows

1. List of required files

• Latest version of Python (Python 3.8.8 (or under to maintain windows 7/8 support))
• Something to build the program, I use Pyinstaller
  • Open CMD Prompt and use run command pip install PyInstaller to install Pyinstaller

2. Install requirements with the command pip install -r /path/to/requirements.txt

3. With all the required files/programs installed correctly you can use your favorite terminal to build the program

• Navigate to FFMPEG Audio Encoder folder in what ever terminal/console you are using
• Your directory should look like this https://i.imgur.com/UYXCi0E.png
• You'll then run the command pyinstaller -F --add-data "C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python38\Lib\site-packages\pymediainfo\MediaInfo.dll";. -w --onefile --icon="LOCATION TO\icon.ico" "LOCATION TO\FFMPEGAudioEncoder.py"
• You'll get several new files in the directory, you are only interested in the Dist folder, which is where your compressed .exe file will be
• Move the new FFMPEGAudioEncoder.exe file into a seperate folder, copy the Apps and Runtime folder into the folder where you moved FFMPEG...exe and the program will run.
• If you have done everything correctly your folder structure will look like this https://i.imgur.com/29ePmxV.png
