Hi, as a longtime Linux user, I can't really comment on how to make a Windows installation wizard. I do think that it's a good thing to have for Windows user.
When it comes to Linux, something like the script that was used to install Arches on an Amazon instance or Docker as was suggested earlier are a good fit. Having Arches be available as a .deb package would probably be even easier for testing and evaluation purposes. Although we never, ever install webapplications on our production servers via upstream .deb packages. We always do custom deploys through fabric scripts and our own internal pypi package server. So, I think most Linux user will be most helped with a good set of instructions on how to install and a sample script.

I saw this idea mentioned in the previous year's idea list, but no one picked it up. So I was wondering if people still want to get this done. I am interested in the project as I have used a setup scripting language called NSIS to create an installation wizard for a school project once, so I know how installation wizards work. For Windows, NSIS provides a pretty decent interface and being opensource I don't think we should look for anything else but for linux I think people would much rather prefer their own package manager rather than a custom setup wizard. So would a wizard make sense for Linux users? A better option might be just a straightforward installation script. --- 2014 Ideas: http://archesproject.org/ideas/ --- NSIS: http://nsis.sourceforge.net/Main_Page -- -- To post, send email to [email protected].
