The WARP EDK Installer Project Page

Note: Installer is currently waiting for distribution approval. Please check back regularly for more updates.

Background

This project is aimed towards creating a compact means of distributing and installing our support packages. The installer has been built using an open-source scripting language/compiler called ​NSIS created by ​Nullsoft (those pesky Llamas...). The installer has several purposes.

• To provide an easy and efficient means of installing WARP's EDK on multiple machines
• To provide additional open-source tools useful for building/running/debugging WARP
• To promote others to compose their own WARP installation applications to distribute and promote their research with the rest of the community

Building Your Own Installation

The Project files for this installers can be found in ​the Repository. This includes the most updated version of the installation ​script. To recreate or work with this installer, just move all of the ​Installers page's contents into a directory to preserve project hierarchy.

Nullsofts NSIS compiler and downloadable package is available via ​Sourceforge ​HERE. The NSIS downloadable package contains pretty decent documentation and some good reference designs. A useful site for reference is ​Nullsoft's NSIS Discussion Forum and ​Developer Center.
