need help on pyinstaller in pycharm

I'm trying to build an exe file from my pycharm project but it did not succeed. I've tried several solutions from the Internet but they didn't work for me. there was nothing in the dist folder.
the statement I used was "pyinstaller main.py". I also upgraded pyinstaller from 4.2 to 5.0 and it still didn't work.
please help. Thanks
Here is the output from both Pycharm terminal.

This would mean your Python installation doesn't come with proper library files.
This usually happens by missing development package, or unsuitable build parameters of Python installation.
* On Debian/Ubuntu, you would need to install Python development packages
* apt-get install python3-dev
* apt-get install python-dev
* If you're building Python by yourself, please rebuild your Python with `--enable-shared` (or, `--enable-framework` on Darwin)

upgrade pip and try to install pyinstaller from github repo
python.exe -m pip install --upgrade pip
python.exe -m pip install https://github.com/pyinstaller/pyinstaller/archive/develop.zip
after that try to build exe file.
pyinstaller "filename"

'pyinstaller' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file. it gave me this

I get PermissionError (Errno 13) Permission denied creating an executable for "Hello World" project

I am new to Python, just installed Python 3.9.1 and PyCharm IDE community edition (I have a license for IntelliJ).
I created my first project "Hello World" program in a project name "test1" which has 1 file main.py:
print("Hello World")
input()
I opened a command-line (cmd.exe) with Administrator permissions and run pip install pyinstaller to install pyInstaller, then navigated to my project d:\development\PyCharmProjects\pythonProject\test1 and run pyinstaller main.py build to create and executable file (main.exe).
The building FAILS with PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: 'D:\\development\\PycharmProjects\\pythonProject\\test1\\build'

I would appreciate any assistance.

PyInstaller is not creating an .exe file

I'm trying to create an executable file using PyInstaller with my script. For reference, I am using Windows 10 with Python 3.8.0 and PyInstaller version 3.5.
My script is called hello_world.py and it is saved in it's own folder.
print("Hello World!")
In command prompt, I navigate to the folder that hello_world.py is in and run:
pyinstaller hello_world.py
And this is the output:

This creates folders called 'dist' and 'build' and a file called 'hello_world.spec' but the 'dist' folder is empty. What is going wrong?

I search for
TypeError: an integer is required (got type bytes)
Did you read this?

I had this issue in the past, can you please perform the follwing:
open Anaconda prompt or any other IDE per example spyder or Atom terminal, command line as admin and Navigate to the folder where the .py located and run the command as bellow:
In my example the file I want to compile it is getwindowsversion.py
this is will create just standalone .exe can be used,
pyinstaller --onefile getwindowsversion.py
if you want to create regular build,
pyinstaller getwindowsversion.py

How to use pyinstaller with pipenv / pyenv

I am trying to ship an executable from my python script which lives inside a virtual environment using pipenv which again relies on pyenv for python versioning. For that, I want to us pyinstaller.
What I did:
pipenv install pyinstaller
pyinstaller --onefile my_script.py

This would mean your Python installation doesn't come with proper library files.
This usually happens by missing development package, or unsuitable build parameters of Python installation.
* On Debian/Ubuntu, you would need to install Python development packages
* apt-get install python3-dev
* apt-get install python-dev
* If you're building Python by yourself, please rebuild your Python with `--enable-shared` (or, `--enable-framework` on Darwin)
I tried the recommended python3-dev and python-dev installations without luck.
Now, I hope someone can enlighten me what is going on here!
Cheers,
Matt

You need to build with CPython shared-library enabled.
env PYTHON_CONFIGURE_OPTS="--enable-shared" pyenv install 3.6.9
eval "$(pyenv init -)"
