In addition to exporting the **Project**, the **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 ![](/files/7GtWmyo3DGH1i4WUAXQ4) ### General * `Target`: *Operating System* where the exported **Project** will be played in the corresponding version of **Incari Player**. ### Options * `Only Project`: Whether only the **Project** will be exported or the **Project** alongside a copy of **Incari Player**. * `Only Used Assets`: A user may import more **Assets** than they end up using. When toggled on, this **Attribute** makes sure only the essential **Assets**, which appear in the **Asset Database**, are packaged up for export. ## Deploy ![](/files/zpEg9coc1EWmwYsCrBX8) * `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. ![](/files/L9EMl9mLIyruOzFpzrV7) A pop-up message indicating that the export was successful will appear. ![](/files/7iClXhrS99m5Id8rT1L0) 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 22.04* or run on the *PowerShell* or *Command Prompt* the following command: `wsl --install -d Ubuntu-22.04`. 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 22.04* as the default *distribution* by running the command `wsl --set-default Ubuntu-22.04` 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. * Download **Incari Player** for the desired `Target` *platform* in the [*Applications*](/incari-studio/2023.1/getting-started/first-steps/incari-hub.md#incari-player) section of [**Incari Hub**](/incari-studio/2023.1/getting-started/first-steps/incari-hub.md). **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.](/files/X6uMcYRzXdUyKs6qsbDT) ![Exporter with Linux x86-64 Target added.](/files/Vp9HxY7eneO7AHuGz9wF) 3. Choose the desired `Export Folder` on the [**Deploy**](#deploy) tab. 4. Click on the `Export` button on the top menu. ![](/files/f2jviug3D6sdT8ULqkFZ) A pop-up message indicating that the export was successful will appear. ![](/files/7iClXhrS99m5Id8rT1L0) After exporting a **Project**, the export folder will have: * A folder with the exported **Project**. * A `run.sh` file. * A folder with a copy of **Incari Player** for the desired `Target` (only if `Only Project` was set to *false*). The **Project** can then be started on the *Target Platform* by launching `run.sh`. 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="" /target=`. For exporting just the **Project**, without a copy of **Incari Player**, run the command: * `IncariCLI.exe /p="" /export /output="" /no-player /target=`. Where `` specifies the *Target Platform*: * Use `x86_64-linux-gnu` for *Linux x86-64*. * Use `aarch64-linux-gnu` for *Linux arm64*. ## External Links * [*WSL Documentation*](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-gb/windows/wsl/).
