I am creating a bundled app with PyInstaller. The app includes numpy so the final size of the bundled app is > 600MB. I want of course to compress the size of the bundled app so I installed upx via brew install upx
. However, PyInstaller crashes with the error below.
1- Is there any alternative to UPX or even PyIntaller for macOS?
2- Can I fix this error?
3- Can I run UPX manually after PyInstaller creates the bundled app on selected files? If yes, could you give an example of the command line for UPX?
Error:
