Download the GUI from GITHUB under releases.
Extract the package, then run the command "pip install -r requirements.txt" to install PyInstaller, future and Pillow or install them manually using pip.
When you run the GUI and select a file and don't change any options by default is going to create the program in console and all the files and dependencies in a single directory and the executable will have the PyInstaller icon. If you want to create an executable of a GUI program, for example, a program developed using Tkinter then you have to select --Windowed or the command prompt will show up when you run the program. You can create a single executable file by clicking check on --onefile. A single file has all the files and dependencies packed into itself. If you already have a version file you can select the file and check the option --version-file. If you need to create one you can go on Tools -> GrabVersion and if you are in Windows, for example, you can go to C:\Windows and select notepad.exe to extract the notepad.exe version file. Then you can modify this version file and while you are creating the executable or after by going to Tools -> SetVersion. You can have the executable have any icon you like by selecting a the --icon option. If you are in Windows you must create the icon in the .ico format.

PyInstaller supports UPX to pack the executable and make the size smaller, check out UPX at https://upx.github.io/.
The PyInstaller GUI was only tested in Windows using Python versions 2 and 3.
