Build Package

Building a distributable package with an executable for Artemis creates a practical solution for end-users, as they can run the application without needing to interact with the terminal and they can easily share the application as a standalone package.

Requirements

  • Python (3.11 or higher)

Info

We assume that Python is already installed on the system and the Artemis source code has been downloaded and extracted. If these prerequisites are not met, please follow steps 1 to 3 in the run from source section.

Cross-Compilation

An operating system that matches the target OS must be used to generate standalone packages, as Nuitka does not support cross-compilation. For example, you cannot build binaries on Windows that work on Linux or macOS.

Windows

Procedure

  1. Open a PowerShell terminal in the main Artemis folder and execute the following command to start the build process:

    .\building\Windows\build_windows.ps1

  2. Wait for the build process to complete. This may take a few minutes depending on your system's performance. Once the process finishes, check the artemis.dist/ directory: it will contain the standalone software with the artemis.exe executable.

Linux

Procedure

  1. Open a terminal in the main Artemis folder and execute the following command to start the build process: 

    . ./building/Linux/build_linux.sh

  2. Wait for the build process to complete. This may take a few minutes depending on your system's performance. Once the process finishes, check the artemis.dist/ directory: it will contain the standalone software with the app.bin executable.

  3. If you wish to create a shortcut, follows the procedure in the installation section

Mac OS

Warning

The support for the macOS compiled version of the program is temporarily limited due to a lack of machines for extensive testing. Feel free to contribute by reporting any issues you encounter by opening an Issue.

Procedure

  1. Open a terminal in the main Artemis folder and execute the following command to start the build process: 
    . ./building/macOS/build_macos.sh
