pyInstaller: ImportError: No module named 'praw'

I wanted to pack my script using pyInstaller. I run pyinstaller file.py -F, file is created successfully, but when running I get ImportError: No module named 'praw'. So I created new file containing only import praw and run pyinstaller file.py -F --hidden-import=praw but still get the same error when running.
I was unable to find anything similar, most issues were solved by using --hidden-import.
Any ideas on how it can be solved?
EDIT:
praw is installed inside virtual environment and running the script directly works as expected.

I found a way to solve the issue:

When using Python2.7, or starting the shell like python2, we need to do 

python2 -m pip install --user praw

to make sure they are linked during installation.

Same idea for python3 shell.

Seem pyinstaller run outside the virtualenv. Try switch to your virtualenv and run:

python -m PyInstaller -F file.py

This command might help you out. It installs the Praw module for you. Make sure you have pip installed!

pip install praw

I'll recommend to look at pyenv or virtualenv. Activate these env's and install the praw module here. This should work.
