LiftInstall

• Usage Documentation: https://liftinstall.jselby.net/

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 has several issues:

• Hard to develop on and poorly documented
• Hardcoded package listing format, requires very specific setups for packages, packages must be built using their tool
• Poorly supported, with rare updates and a large list of bugs

Building

• Add your favicon to static/favicon.ico
• Modify the configuration file as needed
• Tweak package.metadata.winres metadata in Cargo.toml
• Run:

cargo build --release

LiftInstall should build on both Stable and Nightly Rust.

Contributing

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