SUMMARY

Creating an executable (.exe) file from Mathematica code is not directly supported; however, users can deploy Mathematica notebooks as Computable Document Format (CDF) files. This feature is available in Mathematica version 8.0.4 and later, accessible via the File -> Deploy menu. For older versions, users can convert notebooks to CDFs online through Wolfram's website. To run CDF files, a free copy of CDFPlayer is required, allowing execution without Mathematica.

PREREQUISITES
  • Familiarity with Mathematica 8.0.4 or later
  • Understanding of CDF (Computable Document Format)
  • Basic knowledge of using the Manipulate[] function in Mathematica
  • Access to CDFPlayer for running CDF files
NEXT STEPS
  • Research how to use the File -> Deploy feature in Mathematica 8.0.4
  • Learn about creating interactive content with Manipulate[] in Mathematica
  • Explore the online conversion tool for older Mathematica versions to create CDFs
  • Download and install CDFPlayer from Wolfram's website
USEFUL FOR

Mathematica users, educators, and developers looking to share interactive content without requiring Mathematica installation. Ideal for those creating educational tools or demonstrations using Mathematica.

How To create an .exe file from Mathematica code ?

Hi,

I just wonder is there a way to create an exe file from a Mathematica code, that runs just with double-clicks on it ?

When it starts running it may ask some values for some variables and when one of them entered the others and the result will be calculated automatically. (The variableas are depens each others)

Is that possible and if yes please mention a little bit how?

I'm not sure if mathematica can export to *.exe. What you're probably looking for is a cdf file. It's a file that can be played without mathematica (it's used on wolfram demonstration project [PLAIN]http://demonstrations.wolfram.com/).[/PLAIN] If you have mathematica 8.0.4 notebooks can be deployed directly by clicking on File -> Deploy ... so make a notebook write something you want to .. something with Manipulate[] if you want to have interactive stuff e.g.

Manipulate[Plot[a*x^2,{x,0,3},AspectRatio-> Automatic,PlotStyle-> {Thick,Magenta}],{a,-5,5}]

Then go to File-> Deploy. You need a free copy of CDFPlayer (available from wolfram's website) to play the cdf on a PC without mathematica (or in a web browser like on demonstrations).

If you have an older mathematica copy (like 8.0.0 or even older) you won't have the Deploy thing in your File tab. In that case, you can convert your nbs to cdfs online , here http://www.wolfram.com/solutions/interactivedeployment/publish/
You need to enter license and email and all that annoying stuff but it should work ...
