I have made a Cryptography App, basically with python and I have posted it in github, now I have decided to create a .exe file with pyinstaller for that, because the Cryptography App needs tkinter and python to work. I have created the .exe file with the pyinstaller in windows 32-bit. Now I know that it will work on Windows 64-bit also, but WILL IT WORK ON ANY OTHER OS LIKE LINUX OR MAC?
This is a good question with a very simple answer. .exe
is a windows file format. You will not be able to run the .exe
on a mac simply because this type of file is not supported in MacOS
A solution, if you want to run this on Mac or Linux, would be to try running it under a Windows compatibility layer such as Wine
