Hi Diego,

When i try to install pyinstaller on the Linux machine i get this error:

root@kali:~/.wine/drive_c/Python27# wine python.exe -m pip install pyinstaller
Collecting pyinstaller

    Complete output from command python setup.py egg_info:

You are using pip version 9.0.1, however version 20.2.1 is available.
You should consider upgrading via the 'python -m pip install --upgrade pip' command.
root@kali:~/.wine/drive_c/Python27# 

please note that I already have latest pip version :

root@kali:~/.wine/drive_c/Python27# python -m pip install --upgrade pip

DEPRECATION: Python 2.7 reached the end of its life on January 1st, 2020. Please upgrade your Python as Python 2.7 is no longer maintained. pip 21.0 will drop support for Python 2.7 in January 2021. More details about Python 2 support in pip can be found at https://pip.pypa.io/en/latest/development/release-process/#python-2-support
Requirement already up-to-date: pip in /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages (20.2.1)

I Googled the error code 1 and the suggestion was to update the setuptools and the wheel, so I ran this command:

python -m pip install –upgrade pip setuptools wheel
pip install –upgrade setuptools
pip install ez_setup
pip install unroll

but it still doesn’t work.

Can you help?
