Building OS packages [_building_os_packages]

Packages are built using fpm, dpkg, and rpm, and Docker. Package building has only been tested on Linux and is not supported on any other platform. Docker installation instructions can be found at Install Docker Engine.

bash

apt-get install ruby ruby-dev rpm dpkg build-essential
gem install fpm -v 1.5.0
yarn build --skip-archives

To specify a package to build you can add rpm or deb as an argument.

bash

yarn build --rpm

Distributable packages can be found in target/ after the build completes.
