Portable Rez Build by PyInstaller

This is an unofficial portable build of Rez created with PyInstaller. It offers a standalone executable for Windows, allowing you to run Rez without installing Python.

The build functions identically to the official version.

Original Rez repository: AcademySoftwareFoundation/rez
Rez documentation: rez.readthedocs.io

Usage

1. Download the latest release from Latest Releases.
2. Extract the ZIP file to your preferred folder.
3. Add that folder to your PATH environment variable.

You can now use rez from the command line as you would with the official build.

Build

Manually

This repository currently provides a Windows build, but it can be adapted for other platforms or Python versions.

The build script is located in the pyinstaller folder. To create a build, install PyInstaller and run:

pip install pyinstaller
python ./pyinstaller/build.py

Use agent skill

This repository now provides an agent skill that uses uv to set up the environment and build the executable.

You can invoke any agent and use the build-rez skill to build it.

• The pyinstaller folder with the build script and necessary files.
