==Overview==
+
Lianja Package Files (.lpk) are used to package up Apps, databases and Library files to transfer to another Lianja App Builder installation.
+
 
+
For information on packaging your Apps for user deployment, see [[:Category:Deployment|Deployment]].
+
 
+
==How to create a package file==
+
You create packages in the Deploy worksurface.

+
 
+
 
+
 
+
 
+
 
+
Select the data, Apps and Library files as you would to deploy them.
+
 
+
Note: if your files have been added to a [[Lianja Projects|Lianja Project]], just tick the checkbox next to the Project name, and all its files will be selected.
+
 
+
Click the '''Build Package''' button in the headerbar and enter the name for your package.
+
There is no need to include the '''.lpk''' file extension.
+
 
+
 
+
Your package will be created in the drive:\lianja\packages\ directory.

From v5.0 the toolbar in the [[:Category:Page Builder|Pages]] and [[:Category:Apps Workspace|Apps]] workspaces includes a button to create a [[Lianja_Package_Manager#Quick_Package|Quick Package]] for the currently open App.
+
 
+
From v5.3 the [[Shortcuts]] menu in the ModeBar includes options for '''Quick Project Package...''' and '''Quick Package...''' to allow the creation of a package file from the currently open [[Lianja Projects|Project]] or App.  If the App or Project uses a database (other than the distribution southwind database), you will be prompted whether your database(s) should be included in the package.
+
 
+
==How to install a package file==
+
You install packages in the Apps workspace.
+
 
+

+
Click the '''Install Package''' button in the headerbar.
+
 
+
 
+
Select the package to install.
+
 
+
 
+
The installation progress will be displayed in the Console workspace and you will be prompted to confirm if a file will be overwritten.

Note: from Lianja v4.2, you can also install packages using the [[LPK()]] function.
