title: Very basic. involving nuitka?
body: <p>I'm using windows and python2.7</p>
  
  <p>I've made a .py application and I'm trying to figure how to convert into an executable. I read that the package nuitka can do this</p>
  
  <p>But I don't understand how to do it. Instructions are on this page <a href="http://nuitka.net/doc/user-manual.html#overview" rel="nofollow">http://nuitka.net/doc/user-manual.html#overview</a>.</p>
  
  <p>It says to use this:
  "nuitka --recurse-all program.py"</p>
  
  <p>How do i use this command? </p>
  
  <p>I put it into a command prompt and it said "nuitka is not defined".
  I opened a command prompt and entered "python" and then the code and it said "Syntax Error"
  I tried to import nuitka (And it did recognise it when I typed "Import Nuitka") but I still only got errors.</p>
  
  <p>I think it's obvious that I haven't learnt something quite fundamental and most documentation seems to start off at a point that I am not at. Could anyone explain this?</p>
  
  <p>Thank you for your time.</p>
  
  <p><em>Ok thank you for your response. I still haven't got it working. Is the "Path" the directory that it says in the command prompt? The default being "C:\WINDOWS\system32"? I tried changing it to both "C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages" and "C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages\nuitka" but neither of those worked. I also tried changing the Environment variables "PATH" to either of those. And then I tried typing PATH= either of those directly from the command prompt but I still couldn't make any progress.<br>
  Am I using PATH wrong or am I giving it the wrong directory?</em></p>
  
  <p>ooh ok I was using the wrong directory. I searched for the nuitka --run and it was here "C:\Users*Myname*\Documents\Pythonstuff\Scripts"</p>
  
  <p>Sooo.. I did "cd C:\Users*Myname*\Documents\Pythonstuff\Scripts" and then "nuitka --recurse-all program.py" into command prompt and it recognised the command but came up with a few errors. But that's almost fixed. </p>
