Preparing the Package Using the Deployment Tool
The Deployment Tool
Zend's Deployment Tool allows you to create a skeleton package, and pack the contents into a .zpk
package. The Deployment Tool usage includes the following:
Tool location - The tool is located in: Linux - 'usr/local/zend/bin/zdpack'; Windows - 'C:Program
Files\Zend\ZendServer\bin\zdpack' -OR- as a standalone (if downloaded separately from the
product).
Usage - Run the help command (Linux: './zdpack --help'; Windows: 'zdpack.exe --help') from the
bin directory to see the usage.
The command line actions are:
Create a skelaton for new application
create

directory, the package descriptor file, and the package scripts directory.

them.
