I am working on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. I am trying to build exe files from my python files. But I am facing an issue while installing requirements.txt, I am using Python 3.8.10 version.

These are the error:

  note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip.

Failed to build PyInstaller
ERROR: Could not build wheels for PyInstaller, which is required to install pyproject.toml-based projects

I have attached Screen shot for further reference.

    Oof, why are you running as root? This will mess up all the permissions.

You should run the following as a non-root user.

pip3 install --upgrade pip

Log out and log back in and then run the following commands (again, as a non-root user):

pip install --upgrade wheel
pip install --upgrade PyInstaller
