After you've packaged your app (by running the packager to create a .bar file),
you're ready to install the app on your target system.
-
Copy your app's .bar file from your host machine to your target.
You could use FTP or a tool such as
WinSCP (Windows) for copying files. Or you could use a USB stick, which should
appear on your target as a directory called
/fs/usb0/.
-
From a terminal window, execute the bar-install script:
/scripts/bar-install my_app.bar
Each installed app resides in its own directory under /apps on your system.
The directory name looks something like this:
package_name.testDev_system_generated_suffix/
where system_generated_suffix is a combination of the last few characters of the
package name and a generated identifier.
For example, here's the directory name for the default HTML5 app created with the package name com.example.hello:
com.example.hello.testDev_ample_hellodf4765a1/
You can now launch the app.
