I currently have an installation bash script (INSTALL) and a bunch of files that are the program itself. I would like to pack the files and the script in one file, maybe tar (?) and make it executable so that when it is called INSTALL will run.
Any ideas of how I can do it? What’s the common method, if there is one, to do to?
Thanks
You can use a
shararchive. shar archives are self-contained executable shell scripts that are self-unpacking, and you can execute whatever code you want after the script unpacks.
