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.
