Quick Steps to Create a PIF Package

You need to perform only a few steps on the Packager GUI to create and store a Linux or UNIX software package in the PIF packaging format (PIF package).

• Click the New icon on the toolbar.
• Specify the desired package name.

  A prototype file is created internally, which contains default settings and properties for the PIF package. This prototype file is used to build the final PIF package.

• Save the prototype file in a specified target directory.
• Click the Build icon on the toolbar.

  The PIF package is generated using the default settings in the prototype file. The PIF package is stored in the same directory as the prototype file.

From that directory, the PIF package can be distributed and installed on a target computer by the Installer.
