<h1 class="lined-header"><span>Self-extracting releases</span></h1>
<p>Erlang.mk allows you to package <a href="../relx">Relx releases</a> as self-extracting archives. These archives contain all the files in the release and come in the form of a script that will extract and run the release automatically.</p>
<p>This allows you to package the release as a single file that can then be executed.</p>
<p>This feature is currently experimental. Feedback is much appreciated.</p>
<h2 id="_generating_the_self_extracting_archive">Generating the self-extracting archive</h2>
<p>To generate a self-extracting release, all you need to do is pass the <code>SFX=1</code> variable to Make when you build the release:</p>

<pre><tt>$ make <font color="#009900">SFX</font><font color="#990000">=</font><font color="#993399">1</font></tt></pre>
</div></div>
<p>This will create a self-extracting archive in <code>$RELX_OUTPUT_DIR/<name>.run</code>. For example if the release is named <code>hello_world</code> and <code>$RELX_OUTPUT_DIR</code> is the default, the file will be located at <code>_rel/hello_world.run</code>.</p>
<h2 id="_running_the_release">Running the release</h2>
<p>Simply execute the script to get started:</p>

<p>As you can see the archive is extracted to a temporary directory before the release can be started.</p>
<p>The self-extracting script currently only supports starting the release in <code>console</code> mode.</p>
