Pyinstaller is not recognized as internal or exter

Question

I am trying to use pyinstaller in cmd but I receive error:

C:\Users\username>pyinstaller
'pyinstaller' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

C:\Users\username>

When I use this command in the Scripts folder in python , it works:

C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36-32\Scripts>pyinstaller
usage: pyinstaller [-h] [-v] [-D] [-F] [--specpath DIR] [-n NAME]

pyinstaller: error: the following arguments are required: scriptname

C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36-32\Scripts>

How to solve this?

Answer 1

For Python 3.7, you will have to add the Scripts folder from AppData/Roaming (%appdata%) to the PATH variable.

C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Roaming\Python\Python37\Scripts

Answer 2

if you cannot do anything or you have less time, you can make the virtual environment and install pyinstaller there, then generate executable file

Answer 3

you have to modify your PATH environ to include C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36-32\Scripts> if you don't know how to do it look here
good luck

Copy 'pyinstaller.exe' to the folder you have the .py file you want to convert. When you are done, just delete 'pyinstaller.exe'. Good luck.
