Purpose¶

Crear installers profesionales (PKG para Mac, MSI/EXE para Windows).

Week 12 Deliverables¶

Must Have¶

macOS: PKG installer (signed + notarized)
Windows: Installer básico (Inno Setup o NSIS)
Uninstaller funcional

File Structure¶

  │   ├── scripts/
  │   │   ├── postinstall     # Copy VST3/AU to correct folders

macOS PKG¶

# Install destinations:
VST3: /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST3/TapeLooper.vst3
AU:   /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components/TapeLooper.component

# Postinstall script:
#!/bin/bash
# Rescan plugins in common DAWs
killall -9 "Audio MIDI Setup" 2>/dev/null
killall -9 "Ableton Live" 2>/dev/null

Windows Installer (Inno Setup)¶

[Setup]
AppName=Tape Looper
AppVersion=1.0.0
DefaultDirName={commoncf64}\VST3
DefaultGroupName=Tape Looper

[Files]
Source: "TapeLooper.vst3"; DestDir: "{commoncf64}\VST3"

[Icons]
Name: "{group}\Uninstall Tape Looper"; Filename: "{uninstallexe}"

Success Criteria¶

macOS PKG instala sin errores
Windows installer detecta VST3 path
Uninstaller limpia todos los files
Post-install: Plugin aparece en DAW

Notes¶

macOS PKG MUST be signed + notarized
Windows: Inno Setup es free y suficiente para MVP
Considerar auto-updater en futuro (Sparkle, WinSparkle)
