auto-py-to-exe generated 2 error messages: `UPX is not available` and `an error occurred while packaging`

I am trying to convert my .py to .exe.
However, 2 error messages occured while using auto-py-to-exe. The first error message was as follows:

UPX is not available.

The second error message was the following:

An error occurred while packaging.

This second message was led to 'Project output will not be moved to output folder.

UPX is used to compress your exe further and is optional

A compressed executable program is wrapped in UPX startup code that dynamically decompresses the program when the program is launched.

Refer to this for more info on that.

But if you are not concerned about that, then add --noupx flag in your command, which will explicitly tell pyinstaller to not use it

Now, for the second error, it's caused because of a syntax error in your python file as seen here

name='Seming Teacher's Reading Master'

you will need to use a higher quotation for the overall string since you have single quote as the part of the string, change it to something like

name="Seming Teacher's Reading Master"

That should remove the error.
