Usage Documentation - Quick Start - License

Build Status

An installer for your application. Designed to be customisable to the core, hookable from external applications, and have a decent UI.

This is designed to be a more modern interpretation of Qt's Installer Framework, which is hard to develop on, poorly documented, has a hardcoded package listing format, and isn't supported all that well, with rare updates and a large list of bugs.

Building

For more detailed instructions, look at the usage documentation above.

There are are few system dependencies depending on your platform:

  • For all platforms, cargo should be available on your PATH. Rustup is the recommended way to achieve this. Stable or Nightly Rust works fine.
  • Have node.js and Yarn available on your PATH (for building UI components, not needed at runtime).
  • For Windows (MSVC), you need Visual Studio installed.
  • For Windows (Mingw), you need gcc/g++ available on the PATH.
  • For Mac, you need Xcode installed, and Clang/etc available on the PATH.
  • For Linux, you need gcc/g++, webkit2gtk, and libssl. For Ubuntu 18.04 this would look like:
apt install -y build-essential libwebkit2gtk-4.0-dev libssl-dev

In order to build yourself an installer, as a bare minimum, you need to:

  • Add your favicon to ui/public/favicon.ico
  • Add your logo to ui/src/assets/logo.png
  • Modify the bootstrap configuration file as needed (config.PLATFORM.toml).
  • Have the main configuration file somewhere useful, reachable over HTTP.
  • Run:
cargo build --release

Contributing

PRs are very welcome. Code should be run through Rustfmt before submission.
