Compile OctaDist to EXE

Program source code can be compiled as a standalone executable file (*.exe). Compilation can be completed easily using PyInstaller.

1. Upgrade pip:

   pip install pip --upgrade
   

2. Install the latest version of PyInstaller:

   pip install pyinstaller --upgrade
   

3. Check the version of PyInstaller:

   pyinstaller --version
   

4. Change directory to octadist subdirectory, where main.py is, for example:

   cd OctaDist-*-src-x86-64/octadist/
   

5. Compile a standalone, like this:

   pyinstaller --onefile --windowed -n OctaDist-*-src-x86-64 main.py
   

6. The standalone executable will be build in dist directory.
