I'm creating a python app to get details from a website. I'm using selenium and pyodbc to create my app. It is getting all the details and saves them into a SQL server database. It is working fine on my pycharm IDE. Now I need to use this app on a hosted server like Linux or ubuntu server. How can I create a .exe file to run my app on a hosted server? And I used pyinstaller to create a .exe file using the following command.

pyinstaller --one main.py

I don't know what are the initial things that I should install on my server. Or is it not necessary to install any of the things to run my app?

See if this can help:

You can install python on your server and create a service in linux to run it. You don't have to create a .exe file. Also, .exe won't run on linux or ubuntu server.

Thank you so much. I'll try these steps
And another matter, How Can I run it on a windows server? I'm new to python.
You can download python for windows also, but there's no direct way to run python scripts as windows service. So, you can use a tool called NSSM. Here's an article that can help: medium.com/@m_ko/…
