1- Make a python virtual environment inside the project's folder with the name "venv" and run this command in it's shell: pip install pyside6 requests pywin32 win10toast cx_Freeze playsound==1.2.2
.
NOTE: creating a virual environment is very important here becuase in the building process, all the packages in the python enviroment get packed inside the output folder, we can add exception per package and also write code to delete spacific files for us, but we need the minimum amount of packages in the environment.
NOTE: The command I included forces a specific version of playsound to be installed, this is because the latest version of playsound as of now, v1.3.0, is bugged, but v1.2.2 is still working perfectly, so is essential to install that specific version.
2- Open the cmd and make the project's folder is your current working directory, then run Build.bat and it will handle the building and the size optimizing processes automatically.
NOTE: The "Build.bat" file runs the "Builder.py" file in the virtual enviroment, "Builder.py" uses cx_Freeze package to build the application, it also exceludes unused base python libraries, and it also includes custom code that removes unused parts of pyside6 library that takes alot of extra space.
