Requirements

Python Version

Install all dependencies:

pip install qrcode[pil] --break-system-packages

Creating a Windows EXE (For Distribution)

If you want to create an executable file to share with others:

Step 1: Install PyInstaller

pip install pyinstaller --break-system-packages

Step 2: Build the EXE

pyinstaller --onefile --windowed --icon=icon.ico qr_code_maker.py

Step 3: Find your EXE

dist/qr_code_maker.exe

Users can then download and run this .exe file without needing Python installed!

Converting to Web App

To create a web version, you can use:

• Streamlit - Easiest Python web framework
• Flask - More customizable
• React - For a professional web app

Example with Streamlit:

pip install streamlit --break-system-packages
streamlit run app.py

Troubleshooting

"Module not found" Error

pip install qrcode[pil] --break-system-packages

GUI window doesn't appear (Linux)

sudo apt-get install python3-tk

EXE file is too large

Use --onefile with UPX compression:

pyinstaller --onefile --upx-dir=path/to/upx qr_code_maker.py
