application installer

how to create installer of applic开发者_JAVA百科ation( .sh and .pl files) on ubuntu? and how to install it?

We need more details to give you a proper answer. However, if you're looking for something installable on a GNU/Linux distribution, I'd recommend you package your application as an RPM or a DEB.

On the other hand, if you simply want to create a self extracting "installer", you can consider using makeself.

I don't know about any perl tool that does this.

For linux/unix platform I used InstallAnywhere and InstallShield Universal. Both allows to create projects which can be built for various platforms including win and mac and for linux platforms it creates .bin package which can be installed rather with UI or console mode.
