CTkDeb

The easiest way to create a DEB or RPM package of your CustomTkinter project! You can create a small DEB or RPM package without deep packaging experience.

Install

pip install CTkDeb[gui]

• Creating DEB packages requires the dpkg-deb tool (pre-installed on most Debian-like systems, probably does not need to be installed separately).
• Creating RPM packages requires the rpmbuild tool.

Run

Run this in the project folder (relative to which the paths in the config are specified)

FAQ

• Do I need to specify Tkinter and CustomTkinter as dependencies?

No, CTkDeb has already taken care of that; just specify third-party dependencies, if any.

• What about dependencies?

Pip dependencies are recommended only if they are written in pure Python (e.g., CTkMenuBar). If not, it's better to search for the required dependency in the distribution repositories and specify it as a DEB or RPM dependency. For example, for Pillow, specify python3-pil for DEB or python3-pillow for RPM (Fedora/Mageia) instead of pillow in the Pip dependencies line.
