Running Python on Linux without Python installed may seem like a paradoxical task, but it can be achieved using a tool called PyInstaller. PyInstaller is a popular packaging tool for Python that converts Python scripts into standalone executables, including all the necessary dependencies. This means you can distribute and run your Python application on a Linux system even if Python is not installed.
Here’s a step-by-step tutorial to guide you through the process:
If you don’t have PyInstaller installed, you can install it using pip:
Create a simple Python script that you want to run on a Linux system. For example, let’s create a script named hello.py with the following content:
Save this script in a directory of your choice.
Open a terminal and navigate to the directory where your Python script is located. Run the following command to generate a standalone executable:
This command tells PyInstaller to create a single executable file (–onefile) named hello based on the hello.py script.
After running the PyInstaller command, you’ll find a new dist directory in your script’s directory. Inside the dist directory, you’ll find the standalone executable. In our example, it’s named hello.
Copy the executable to a Linux system where Python is not installed. Open a terminal, navigate to the directory containing the executable, and run it:
You should see the output:
Congratulations! You’ve successfully run a Python script on a Linux system without having Python installed.
This method allows you to distribute and run Python applications on Linux systems without requiring users to install Python separately.

Running Python on Linux without having Python installed may sound a bit unusual, but it can be achieved using tools like PyInstaller, PyOxidizer, or using a pre-built standalone interpreter like Nuitka. In this tutorial, we’ll focus on PyInstaller as it’s a popular choice for creating standalone Python executables.
Linux Environment: Make sure you have a Linux environment available, such as Ubuntu, CentOS, or any other distribution of your choice.
Internet Connection: You’ll need an internet connection to download PyInstaller.
Open a terminal and run the following commands:
This installs PyInstaller, a tool that bundles a Python application and its dependencies into a single executable.
Write a simple Python script that you want to run without having Python installed. For example, let’s create a script named hello.py:
Now, use PyInstaller to create a standa
