Packaging as an Executable

You can use PyInstaller to package the app as a standalone executable:

1. Install PyInstaller:

   pip install pyinstaller

2. Package the app:

   pyinstaller --onefile --noconsole --add-data "ebooks;ebooks" ebook_reader.py

   • On Windows, use ; as the separator in --add-data. On Mac/Linux, use :.
   • This will create a dist/ebook_reader.exe (Windows) or dist/ebook_reader (Mac/Linux).
3. Distribute the dist/ folder. Make sure the ebooks folder is included.

Notes

• The app creates an ebooks folder for your library.
• Only supported file types are shown/uploaded.
• If you want to reset your library, just delete the ebooks folder.
