Description

|
•
|
Using the InstallerBuilder package, you can create installers for your Maple toolboxes. Toolbox installers are executable Maple archives, .mla files.
|
•
|
The InstallerBuilder provides a set of built-in windows, called panels, that display as the user installs your toolbox. Each panel displays or requests specific installation information from the user. For more information about the built-in panels, see InstallerBuilder Panels.
|

You can build an installer using:
|
|
The InstallerBuilder graphical user interface (Maplet interface), launched using the Interactive command, or
|
|
The Build command, specifying all information using parameters.
|
|
It is recommended that you use the Interactive command when setting up a configuration for building an installer, and use the Build command when automating the generation of installers during software development.

•
|
The Interactive and Build commands accept the same set of options. For information on the installer options, see InstallerBuilder Options.
