I've written a program that I want to compile as an exe.

The structure of the folder looks like this:

- Main Folder
    - Main Script
    - README
    - Data Folder
        - ASCII Script
        - Scores CSV
    - Scripts Folder
        - Functions Script
        - Nodes Script
        - Score Script
        - Stacks Script

This is my first time compiling anything into an exe, and the guides/options are a little overwhelming. I'm looking for some direction in the best way to go about compiling something like this!

What I have tried:

Searching for guides unsuccessfully.

Solution 2

Try this: PyInstaller Quickstart — PyInstaller bundles Python applications[^] - I haven't tried it myself, but I have heard good things about it.
Note that you must run PyInstaller on the system you want to run the EXE on: it won't build you a Linux app on a Windows system or vice versa.
