## PyInstaller
Any programs set up to be able to use PyInstaller can be built to an EXE file using the provided `.spec` file. **DO NOT** use pyinstaller on a `.py` file directly unless you are creating a new `.spec` file. Doing so will overwrite the existing file.
Syntax:
```bash
pyinstaller MyFile.spec
```
This will create two folders named `Build/` and `Dist/`. The `.EXE` file will be created inside the `Dist/` folder. The executable can be moved anywhere on the system and does not need Python to be installed in order to work.
