Music: "Por Nós" by OluásMusic (   • OLUÁS LIVE #1 - Por Nós  )

In this tutorial, you will learn how to create a standalone executable from your Streamlit app using PyInstaller or auto-py-to-exe. We'll start by creating a virtual environment using the standard library from Python and then install Streamlit and any other libraries you'll need.

Once we have everything set up, we'll create the main file and the entry point for our executable. We'll also add content to the app.py file and create a hook to get Streamlit metadata.

With all of the necessary pieces in place, we'll compile the app using PyInstaller or auto-py-to-exe and create a config.toml file for Streamlit. We'll then copy the files to the output folder and update the datas in the run_app.spec file to include all of the required files.

By the end of this tutorial, you'll have a fully functional standalone executable that you can distribute and run on any machine, without the need for a Python installation or Streamlit environment.

So, if you want to learn how to create standalone executables from your Streamlit apps, then this tutorial is for you. Follow along and create your first executable today!
