[Usage Documentation](https://liftinstall.jselby.net/user-guide/) - [Quick Start](https://liftinstall.jselby.net/user-guide/quick-start) - [License](LICENSE) [](https://travis-ci.org/j-selby/liftinstall) 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](https://rustup.rs/) is the recommended way to achieve this. Stable or Nightly Rust works fine. - 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: ```bash 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 `static/favicon.ico` - Modify the bootstrap configuration file as needed (`config.PLATFORM.toml`). - Have the main configuration file somewhere useful, reachable over HTTP. - Run: ```bash cargo build --release ``` Contributing ------------ PRs are very welcome. Code should be run through [Rustfmt](https://github.com/rust-lang-nursery/rustfmt) before submission.
