Channel packager

Is there any way to create a channel .pkg file on linux (without loading it into a roku) ?

Thanks.

    sure, you can create the package on Linux. You can't do anything with it once it is created, unless you have a Roku to load it onto. Generally speaking, you add 

    export ROKU_DEV_TARGET=192.168.1.64

    (ip of your roku)

    to ~/.bash_profile or ~/.bashrc depending on how your system is configured, then reload the environment:

    source ~/.bash_profile

    then cd into the top of your roku project:

    cd simpleposter/

    and type:

    make install

    which should create a zip file of your project in the zips folder of the Roku SDK, and also will push the zip to your roku.
