Compiling

Before compiling Ghost you must have already set-up ghost to be run from source so follow the steps here. You will also require pyinstaller which is part of requirements.txt. Once you're ready, follow the steps below on how to compile Ghost!

1. Activate your virtual environment

You will need to work inside your virtual environment to insure pyinstaller uses the correct libraries.

Windows

.venv\Scripts\activate

Linux & macOS

source .venv/bin/activate

2. Run the compile script

Ghost comes with a compile script for easy compilation using pyinstaller. This script works on Windows, Linux and macOS!

python3 compile.py

Or on Windows:

py compile.py

3. Run your compiled binary!

Your compiled binary will now be in the dist/ folder and is ready to run! If you experience issues with the compiled version, run it through a terminal so you can see the debugging messages!
