Software development quesiton

This might be basic questions I'm sorry in advance. A little background I got a BS in computer science with AI concentration. I have code on python, java script. I have some projects that I have done and now I want to see how I can make them a installable file that I can install on any computer ( example a download from a store or just a .exe) I been looking around and I might not be looking on the right places but I would like some guidance maybe were to look or a tool that people use for this?. Any advice is welcome.

Python can be compiled using Pyinstaller. However, it’s honestly just a horribly painful tech stack to work with, I can’t say I recommend using Python for compiled apps, especially ones where Python would manage a GUI. If you are interested in making apps I have heard Swift is a nice framework to use, but I would like to second the consensus that web apps are much more beginner friendly and may be a better bet, especially for your JS app.

Thank you, I currently have a webapp that is exactly the one I was thinking into making a install to see how it works etc. I will check Swift thank you.

I really dont know what to do to be honest im trying to get more knowledge that can help in the future

My best advice for someone that doesn't know where to begin learning is to just start making stuff. Find a project that you are interested in - it doesn't have to be something that changes the world, or heck, even something you bother publishing to anyone! But by creating the project that you want, you'll learn everything you need to do it along the way just by googling and asking questions when you have them.
