How to use PyUpdater


I Have a main.py file for my Tkinter app. I export it to a standalone.exe with Pyinstaller. I want that when I start the .exe to update the .exe if a new version was deployed in the directory where I export my program. Apparently we can do that with PyUpdater but I didn't find how on StackOverflow.


Solution

  • If you're trying to push updates/patches to a frozen python program, read this explanation in the PyUpdater documentation.

    Instead of attempting make your app auto-update (i.e. push updates to frozen apps) a much more straightforward approach would be to use Inno Setup.
