PackageCompiler for having a simple .exe?

General Usage
1

Hello, i am looking for a PackageCompiler instruction for humans, because it seems to me that there are a lot of links in internet but it is difficult to find the most simple case : own simple script that print something translated to executable. But i am not able to find it … also looking inside this forum …

I have added PackageCompiler to Julia, ok.
I am on windows 10.
If i have my simple script called

hello.jl

with inside a simple print

println("Hello first build!")

After have done this:

import Pkg
Pkg.add('PackageCompiler')

What should i do to get this

hello.exe

?
Many thanks…

Please see:

I had the same issue. You need to get the master branch.

I think the new version should be registered now.
