# Exporter The **Exporter** **Module** allows the user to export a **Project** to a chosen location. In addition to exporting the **Project**, **Exporter** can create a copy of **Incari Player** in the same folder. This makes it possible to save and run a **Project** without the need of **Incari Studio**. There are two tabs in the **Exporter** **Module**: [**Settings**](#settings) and [**Deploy**](#deploy). Furthermore, find below an easy guide on [**Exporting a Project**](#exporting-a-project) with the **Exporter** **Module**, divided between the two possible cases of *Target Platforms*: * [**Host Target**](#host-target) * [**Different Target**](#different-target) ## Settings ![](https://4267723012-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FOEts3pBau6LMamSYhGZp%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-13ab86ec437b247fe25e2001edebb35d6046749a%2Fexporter-settings.png?alt=media) ### General * `Target`: *Operating System* in whose **Incari Player** version the exported version of the **Project** will be played. ### Options * `Only Project`: Whether only the **Project** will be exported or the **Project** alongside a copy of **Incari Player**. ## Deploy ![](https://4267723012-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FOEts3pBau6LMamSYhGZp%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-ed78d6f638dc77bb31303b8f54632f29d9feb284%2Fexporter-deploy.png?alt=media) * `Export Folder`: The location in the local machine to which the **Project** will be exported. ## Exporting a Project There are two slightly different procedures for exporting a **Project** depending on the `Target` chosen: * [**Host Target**](#host-target) * [**Different Target**](#different-target) ### Host Target Exporting a **Project** for the *Host* `Target` is very straightforward as this `Target` is already available and selected by default. To export the **Project**, simply click on the `Export` button on the top menu. ![](https://4267723012-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FOEts3pBau6LMamSYhGZp%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-f8a85328cfbad100608133bd63dd721ee1a9420a%2Fexporter-export.png?alt=media) A pop-up message indicating that the export was successful will appear. ![](https://4267723012-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FOEts3pBau6LMamSYhGZp%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-cb21fbce7451fa63fe6539eafcd6932329347901%2Fexporter-success.png?alt=media) After exporting a **Project**, the export folder will have: * A folder with the exported **Project**. * A `run.bat` file. * A folder with a copy of **Incari Player** (only if `Only Project` was set to *false*). The **Project** can then be started by launching `run.bat`. It is also possible to export a **Project** from the command line. There are two cases, which are equivalent to whether the `Only Project` option is set to *true* or *false* in [**Settings**](#settings), when exporting from **Incari Studio**. For exporting the **Project** alongside a copy of **Incari Player**, run the command: * `IncariCLI.exe /p="" /export /output=""`. For exporting just the **Project**, without a copy of **Incari Player**, run the command: * `IncariCLI.exe /p="" /export /output="" /no-player`. ### Different Target Exporting a **Project** for a different *Target* than the *Host* requires a few preparatory steps that will be explained in detail: **Setting up WSL** *WSL* stands for *Windows Subsystem for Linux* and is a tool that allows users to run a *Linux* environment directly on *Windows*. It is needed for building the **Project** for the desired *Target Platform*. Find more information about *WSL* on the links provided in the **External Links** section below. To set up *WSL*, follow these steps: 1. Either on *Windows PowerShell* or *Command Prompt*, run the following *command*: `wsl --install`. This will install *WSL* and the latest *Ubuntu* version. 2. Restart *Windows*. 3. Go to the *Microsoft Store* and install *Ubuntu 20.04* or run on the *PowerShell* or *Command Prompt* the following command: `wsl --install -d Ubuntu-20.04`. 4. Enter your credentials in the pop-up window that appears. If it does not appear, run the command `wsl` on the *PowerShell* or *Command Prompt* and enter your credentials. 5. Set-up *Ubuntu 20.04* as the default *distribution* by running the command `wsl --set-default` on the *PowerShell* or *Command Prompt*. **Preparing Incari Studio** For exporting to a different *Target Platform* than the *Host*, a *cross-compiled* version of **Incari Player** for the desired *Target* is necessary. 1. Acquire **Incari Player** for the desired `Target` *platform*. For this, an **Enterprise Account** is needed. 2. Copy the *cross-compiled* version of **Incari Player** in the following location: `%AppData%\IncariStudio\CrossCompile\\Incari\IncariPlayer\/`. The `` in the *path* where the *cross-compiled* version of **Incari Player** should be located is dependent on the desired *Target Platform*. These are a few examples for `` to be used in the *path*: * `x86_64-linux-gnu`, for *Linux x86-64*. * `aarch64-linux-gnu`, for *Linux arm64*. * `arm-linux-gnueabihf`, for *Linux arm32*. **Exporting the Project** After following all the previous steps, everything is ready for exporting a **Project** to the desired *Target* *Platform*. For this: 1. Open the **Project** to be exported in **Incari Studio** and go to the **Exporter Module**. 2. Add the desired `Target` by using the plus icon on the top left. ![Adding a Target.](https://4267723012-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FOEts3pBau6LMamSYhGZp%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-3b60559ebea1ead399a1fc1f3f7d0c24b4b921f3%2Fexporter-addtarget2.png?alt=media) ![Exporter with Linux x86-64 Target added.](https://4267723012-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FOEts3pBau6LMamSYhGZp%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-32db8fe4431a72a5d9759537c3a17c5c870cc55f%2Fexporter-wlinux.png?alt=media) 3.
