I'm a data engineer. Now I've developed a Python program and need to build it into a Linux binary. What do I do？

    You can’t *really* do that, nor do you generally *need* to. At best you can use a wrapper binary that bundles your code, but (especially on Linux) this is very rarely necessary. Usually you’d distribute the scripts via an installer. — What’s your use-case? – Konrad Rudolph Dec 14 '21 at 11:36
  • As a data engineer using Linux and Python every day, I would need to know more about your use case to understand why it is necessary? You can execute python code from the linux terminal by using "python python_file_name.py" and execute linux code from Python e. g. by using "os.system(linux_command)". – It works on my pc Dec 14 '21 at 11:41
  • 1 option is to freeze the code to an executable using [pyinstaller](https://www.pyinstaller.org/). second options is relevant in case your script serves as a module (or a package), than you can [package](https://packaging.python.org/en/latest/tutorials/packaging-projects/) it – jsofri Dec 14 '21 at 11:48
  • A couple of years ago I have created a .exe (on Windows) from a python program. I think that it also works on linux. I used the answer from Maria Irudaya Regilan J on [this](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/41570359/how-can-i-convert-a-py-to-exe-for-python) post. – suitendaal Dec 14 '21 at 13:33

if you need to make a executable file you can use

pip install pyinstaller

to install a installer And then uses this command for make a executable file :

pyinstaller yourprogram.py

and please read this post How to Run an executable file on Raspberry pi

    You should mention that the binary in the case of pyinstaller still includes the source code — it doesn’t actually compile the Python code, it just bundles it with a minimal Python installation. – Konrad Rudolph Dec 14 '21 at 11:59
