Hi Apawae,

Possible maybe, I think I saw something a long time ago where someone had done this.

If I remember correctly they used one of the python to exe converters and gave the `python -m robot <path to>/test.robot` command, but I don’t remember the details as It’s not something I ever needed.

I think it was on the google mailing list I saw it, If I find it I’ll post a link.

Dave.

As I mentioned I’ve not done this myself, but hopefully this helps you in the right direction.

Pyinstaller I’ve used a few times, really straight forward, never tried the other though (first link Dave shared)😊
