 9. Verify whether all eSim `src` files (`*.py`) have been included in `Analysis-00.toc` file under the build folder generated by PyInstaller.
 
 
+## Fully-Static Bundled Version of eSim:
+
+1. To create a [fully-static bundled version](https://github.com/pyinstaller/pyinstaller/wiki/FAQ#GNULinux) of eSim (through PyInstaller), use a tool like [StaticX](https://github.com/JonathonReinhart/staticx/).
+
+2. To create fully-static eSim :
+
+	- Activate the virtual environment as:
+	
+		$ source eSim/bin/activate
+
+	- Install StaticX as:
+
+		$ pip install staticx
+		$ pip install patchelf-wrapper
+
+	- Create static eSim as:
+
+		$ staticx /path/to/executable/eSim /path/to/output/executable/eSim
+
+3. To verify if all dynamic libraries are removed :
+	
+	- Type following command in a terminal :
+
+		$ ldd path/to/output/executable/eSim
+
+	- Output of above command should be similar to `	not a dynamic executable`
