pyninstaller error: ignored explicit argument '--'

Question

i've done a simple script for plotting of boxplot, usingi three module, numpy, os for the path and matplotlib.pyplot. when i lunched pyinstaller from terminal i wrote down this command:

(spyder_env) D:\Scipts_homemade>pyinstaller -F-- hiddenimport=numpy -F--hiddenimport=os -F--hiddenimport=matplotlib.pyplot -F--collect-submodules=numpy -F--collect-submodules=matplotlib.pyplot -F--onefile BOX_PLOT_interactive.py

the output is:

pyinstaller: error: argument -F/--onefile: ignored explicit argument '--''
where is my mistake?

thank you

some help for my mistake, maybe due to an incorrect command or a module missed

Answer 1

-F and --onefile are the same thing.

Also, it should be --hidden-import not --hiddenimport

Do like this:

pyinstaller --onefile --hidden-import=numpy --hidden-import=os --hidden-import=matplotlib.pyplot --collect-submodules=numpy --collect-submodules=matplotlib.pyplot BOX_PLOT_interactive.py
