Developers Guide

Create a Package

"Create a Package" will create a skeleton package for you, with the proper file system structure and manifest files. You can either install this using the Package Manager or extract it to your SocialEngine installation to start working on it.

Build Package

"Build Package" will scan your system for packages that can be installed and distributed. You can select a package, and the SDK will re-build the package manifest and condense it into a TAR archive, which will show up under "Manage Package Files".

Manage Package Files

"Manage Package Files" allows you to download package files you've built, combine packages into a single package for distribution, or delete ones you don't want.
