# Purpose
|
|
|
|
This project provides a simple installation tool for installing your java application under the operation systems *windows* and *linux*.
|
|
|
|
If you want to use a simple installer instead of the installation method the operating systems ships with (like *msi* or *dpkg packages*) feel free to use this installer.
|
|
This installer can be used for a **single jar file** with a few dependencies.
|
|

# Getting started
|
|
|
|
The usage of the library is very simple. See the below code snippet for a short example.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
InstallConfig conf = new InstallConfig (
|
|
"myCompany",
|
|
"2.0.0",
|
|
"MyApplicationName",
|
|
"My long application name")
|
|
;
|
|
// now you can specify the various options via the InstallConfig
|
|
conf.setDownloadURLForProgramm(URL, BASIC_AUTH_USER, BASIC_AUTH_PASSWORD);
|
|
... // see the javadoc for more options
|
|
|
|
// after configuring you can install the application
|
|
Installer installer = new Installer(conf);
|
|
installer.installProgramm(args);
|
|
|
|
// whether the installation was successful (0) or erroneous (<0)
|
|
System.out.println(installer.getResponseCode());
|
|
```
