You can also run `make yt-dlp` instead to compile only the binary without updating any of the additional files. (The build tools marked with **\*** are not needed for this)
### Standalone Py2Exe Builds (Windows)
While we provide the option to build with [py2exe](https://www.py2exe.org), it is recommended to build [using PyInstaller](#standalone-pyinstaller-builds) instead since the py2exe builds **cannot contain `pycryptodomex`/`certifi`/`requests` and need VC++14** on the target computer to run.
If you wish to build it anyway, install Python (if it is not already installed) and you can run the following commands:
```
py devscripts/install_deps.py --include py2exe
py devscripts/make_lazy_extractors.py
py -m bundle.py2exe
```
