How do I use cx_freeze?

Question

I\'ve created my setup.py file as instructed but I don\'t actually.. understand what to do next. Typing \"python setup.py build\" into the command line just gets a syntax er

You can change the setup.py code to this:

    from cx_freeze import setup, Executable
    setup( name = "foo",
           version = "1.1",
           description = "Description of the app here.",
           executables = [Executable("foo.py")]
         )

I am sure it will work. I have tried it on both windows 7 as well as ubuntu 12.04
