pip install -r requirements.txt
python build_exe.py
python install.py

Or manually:

pip install pyinstaller
pyinstaller --onefile --name converter Converter.py

The executable will be in dist/converter (or dist/converter.exe on Windows).

Publishing to PyPI

To publish or update the package on PyPI:

pip install build twine
python -m build
twine upload dist/*.whl dist/*.tar.gz

(Use build_exe.py only for building the standalone executable; use python -m build for the PyPI package.)

Users can then install with: pip install video-converter-cli and run converter.
