This article is intended for the NautDrafter maintainer and explains how to generate the installer for each platform.

Setup

The installer files are hosted on Bitbucket in the nautdrafter-installer repo, which you'll need to clone to your local machine. You will need to be a member of the NautDrafter team to access the repo.

Once the repo has been cloned, there are a few more files that must be added:

  • In the /install-files/ folder, create a folder called jre1.8.0_20. This will hold the Java Runtime for each platform.
    • Download the latest JREs zips from the BitRock website. You'll need:
      • JRE Windows
      • JRE Windows x64
      • JRE Linux
      • JRE Linux x64
      • JRE Mac OS X

    • Each of these zips will be structured like:

      jre1.8.0_20-<platform>/
└── java-<platform>/
    ├── bin/
    │   ...
    └── lib/
        ...

    • From each of the zips, copy the java-<platform>folder into /install-files/jre1.8.0_20/
      Your folder structure should look like:

      .
└── install-files/
    ├── icons/
    ├── images/
    └── jre1.8.0_20/
        ├── java-linux/
        │   ├── bin/
        │   └   ...
        ├── java-linux-x64/
        ├── java-osx/
        ├── java-windows/
        └── java-windows-x64/
  •  The NautDrafter compiled distributable must also be added.
    • In the main NautDrafter repo (cloned from https://bitbucket.org/nautdrafter/nautdrafter), run ./gradlew distZip (in the root directory). This will generate zip files in <project>/build/distributions/<project>.zip.

    • Extract <main-nautdrafter-repo>/NautDrafter/build/distributions/NautDrafter.zip to the root of the installer repo.
      You should now have the following folder structure:

      .
├── install-files/
│   ├── icons/
│   ├── images/
│   └── jre1.8.0_20/
└── NautDrafter/
    ├── assets/
    ├── bin/
    ├── bundles/
    ├── lib/
    └── style/
  • You are now ready to generate an installer!

In the root of the repo is a file called nautdrafter-installer-tidy.xml - this is the BitRock Install Builder config file that all the installers are generated from.
