Shareable File Details

If you are installing your ReadyPak on a single machine (no network involved), you still need to install shareable files, but you do not have to worry much about where you put them (e.g. you can put them either in a separate share directory - the default -, or you can put them in with the non-shared files - specify the same path that you did for ``Install $<$package$>$ at dir''.

You only need to treat shareable files specially if you intend to install the software on multiple machines on a common network.

Shareable files only need to be installed on a single machine as long as they can be accessed from other machines. When performing an installation for an additional machine, it is not necessary to re-install shared files if you will be sharing files with a machine which is already ``installed''.

Shareable files must be in the same place on all machines. There are two ways to accomplish this.
