All of the scripts to build\nthe InfluxDB MSI installer are located in the `influxdb` directory\n\n### GUID\n\nYou need to generate some GUIDs for the installer.  I used [guidgen.com](http://www.guidgen.com/) \nreferenced in the [generate guids guide](http://wixtoolset.org/documentation/manual/v3/howtos/general/generate_guids.html)\n\nNOTE: You have to uppercase the GUID's that this site generates to be fully compatible with the installer.\n\n### Generating InfluxDB Binaries\n\nTo generate the necessary InfluxDB binaries, pull down the [project](http://github.com/influxdb/influxdb).  Then with a valid [go](http://golang.org) \nenvironment set up, run the following script:\n\n```sh\n./build.sh\n```\n\n### Generating the MSI\n\nFirst, we need to use candle to create our intermmediate object that will turn into an msi file.\n\n```\ncandle.exe -nologo influxdb.wxs -out influxdb.wixobj  -ext WixUtilExtension  -ext WixUIExtension\n```\n\nNow we can generate the msi file with this command:\n\n```\nlight.exe -nologo influxdb.wixobj -out influxdb.msi  -ext WixUtilExtension  -ext WixUIExtension\n```\n\n## Chronograf Windows Packager\n\nThis project uses the [Wix Toolset](http://wixtoolset.org/) to generate a windows msi installer. All of the scripts to build\nthe Chronograf MSI installer are located in the `chronograf` directory\n\n### Generating the MSI\n\nFirst, we need to use candle to create our intermmediate object that will turn into an msi file.\n\n```\ncandle.exe -nologo chronograf.wxs -out chronograf.wixobj  -ext WixUtilExtension  -ext WixUIExtension\n```\n\nNow we can generate the msi file with this command:\n\n```\nlight.exe -nologo chronograf.wixobj -out chronograf.msi  -ext WixUtilExtension  -ext WixUIExtension\n```\n\n\n## Telegraf Windows Packager\n\nThis project uses the [Wix Toolset](http://wixtoolset.org/) to generate a windows msi installer. All of the scripts to build\nthe Telegraf MSI installer are located in the `telegraf` directory\n\n\n### Generating the MSI\n\nFirst, we need to use candle to create our intermmediate object that will turn into an msi file.\n\n```\ncandle.exe -nologo telegraf.wxs -out telegraf.wixobj  -ext WixUtilExtension  -ext WixUIExtension\n```\n\nNow we can generate the msi file with this command:\n\n```\nlight.exe -nologo telegraf.wixobj -out telegraf.msi  -ext WixUtilExtension  -ext WixUIExtension\n```\n\n\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Finfluxdata%2Fwindows-packager","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Finfluxdata%2Fwindows-packager","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Finfluxdata%2Fwindows-packager/lists"}
