Overview

This pattern offers a standard installation procedure for binary distributions. It consists in shipping the binary distribution with a "./bin/.install" script that, once executed as a standard installation user, or root, renders the binary distribution into a runnable state. nort assumes the binary distributions it handles follow the pattern and attempts to run the installation logic as part of its install sequence.

Configure the Project to be Installed with nort

See:

Building a Maven Complex Release Artifact

The article contains file samples and reference implementation examples. See release module structure section.

TODO

  • Consider usefulness of providing a Java class that encapsulates the installation logic and can be instantiated by reflection.
