This tutorial will help you pack the files and generate the installer / package for each platform. All packing related resources are located under the packing directory.

Remember to abide by the Terms of Use when you want to distribute your builds.

Microsoft Windows

CherryGrove currently uses Inno Setup to pack for installer on Microsoft Windows. Download and install it at https://jrsoftware.org/isdl.php.

Inno Setup uses .iss script files to build the installer, which can be found at packing/windows. If you want to do a standard packing procedure, follow these steps:

1. Build the release version of CherryGrove, and check if it works properly and locates exactly at out/windows-x64-release directory.
2. Run packing/windows/pack.bat. You should see an installer file CherryGrove_setup_win64.exe generated inside the same directory.

Adjust the code in the script to create your custom procedure.

Linux

CherryGrove currently uses AppImage to pack images for all Linux Distros.

MacOS

CherryGrove uses create-dmg to pack images on MacOS.
