The all-in-one installer include all the files required by slapos node, so it can run in the computer which doesn't access internat; the later will download most of packages from internet and build, so it need more time than all-in-one installer. It's recommanded to use the former installer in case of slow or unstable internet even if the size of all-in-one installer is more than 100MB, compare of the latter which size is about 2MB.</p><p>Double click the installer, click Next, Next ...

Making installer</h2></div></div></div><p>We use Inno-Setup sripts to genarate microsoft installer, so we need install inno setup first. You can download the installer from <aclass="ulink"href="http://www.innosetup.com"target="_top">http://www.innosetup.com</a>, then install inno-setup in you computer</p><p>Then click Start -> Inno Setup 5 -> Inno Setup Compiler, to open inno setup.</p><p>In the inno setup window, click File -> Open, select the script: /opt/git/slapos.package/windows/scripts/slapos-all-in-one.iss</p><p>In the section "Setup", there are some options:
</p><divclass="itemizedlist"><ulclass="itemizedlist"type="disc"><liclass="listitem"><p>OutputDir: the generated installer will be saved here</p></li><liclass="listitem"><p>OutputBaseFilename: the prefix of output installer</p></li><liclass="listitem"><p>SourceDir: it's a very important option. It's the root path of all the relative path in the section "Files"</p></li></ul></div><p>
In the section "Files", to be sure all the source files are exsiting in your computer, for example
Assum SourceDir in the section "Setup" is "D:\slapos", the builder will find "D:\slapos\images\slapos.ico" as the source, so this file should be exsited.
</p><p>Click menu Build -> Compile, then wait for the building process finished. You can check the installer in the OutputDir.</p><p>There is another script "slapos.iss", it used to build network installer. All-in-one installer will include all the files, so no internet connection required. However network installer need internet connection to download the files and packages. It's remarkable smaller than all-in-one installer.</p></div></div><divclass="chapter"title="Chapter 5.

There is another package: Text/docbook-utils, it only used to generate user-guide.html from source file. But this package will increase required disk size remarkable, because many dependent packages are installed by Cygwin, so it recommand not to check this package when building slapos source or the installer. Only you really need to build the document, then install this package from cygwin setup gui interface by double clicking setup.exe downloaded from cygwin.com</p></div><p>
