Building Installation Package

This section will guide the developer through the process of creating an installation package. This includes nine steps as follows:

1. First the hierarchy of folders of the installation package is formed.
2. The /apps folder of the installation package is filled with the application's tar archive files.
3. The description file is added to the /docs folder of the installation package.
4. The /screenshots folder is filled with screenshots of the application's GUI. These screenshots are displayed on the application's information page in Application Vault.
5. Forms and handlers are created and added to the /forms folder of the installation package.
6. Application scripts are created and added to the /scripts folder of the installation package.
7. The uninstall script is created (if necessary) and added to the /uninstall folder of the installation package.
8. The info.xml file is written and added to the /info folder of the installation package.
9. The installation package is wrapped into an RPM/SH/DEB distribution package and passed to Plesk Server Administrator for allocation in AV Repository.
