Adding Packages in NI Package Manager

[SreeRanjaniSG]

Hi All, 

I would like to know if we can add the nipkg files that are created using the NI Package Builder to the NI Package Manager and distribute them to the others. Example: I wanted to create a package for few PPLs/VIs are distributed as using NIPM which users can download and install.

PS: I am not able to find a discussion category for NIPM so I am posting in this category

Thanks in Advance,

Sree

One option you could look at is using SystemLink's Repository Manager to create new feeds and host them from a central server.

Here is a YouTube video that shows how to use it and there are others that cover how to install and setup the SystemLink server.

Thank You Joshua,

I explored on System Link also, I was able to understand that we can distribute and deploy packages to the client directly from the server. But I was not able to understand if the server can just publish the packages and client can download and install only the required package when needed by itself(similar to NIPM). Please give your suggestions on this.

Thanks,

Sree
