# About cx\_Freeze

**cx\_Freeze** is a set of scripts and modules for freezing Python scripts into
executables, in much the same way that [py2exe](https://pypi.org/project/py2exe/) and
[py2app](https://pypi.org/project/py2app/) do. Unlike these two tools,
cx\_Freeze is cross platform and should work on any platform that Python itself
works on. It supports [Python](https://www.python.org/) 3.5.2 or higher.

If you need support for Python 2.x, cx\_Freeze version 5.1.x should be used
instead.

# Download/Install

Install by issuing the command

```
python -m pip install cx_Freeze --upgrade
```

or download directly from [PyPI](https://pypi.org/project/cx_Freeze).

If you do not have pip installed or would prefer a more manual installation
process, the following steps also work once the source package has been
downloaded and extracted:

```
python setup.py build
python setup.py install
```
