Hans-G?nter@24877 1 makeself.sh is a small shell script that generates a self-extractable
Hans-G?nter@24877 2 compressed tar archive from a directory.
Hans-G?nter@24877 3 The resulting file appears as a shell script (many of those have a
Hans-G?nter@24877 4 .run suffix), and can be launched as is.
Hans-G?nter@24877 5 The archive will then uncompress itself to a temporary directory and
Hans-G?nter@24877 6 an optional arbitrary command will be executed (for example an
Hans-G?nter@24877 7 installation script). This is pretty similar to archives generated
Hans-G?nter@24877 8 with WinZip Self-Extractor in the Windows world.
Hans-G?nter@24877 9 Makeself archives also include checksums for integrity self-validation
Hans-G?nter@24877 10 (CRC and/or MD5/SHA256 checksums).
