- Here's a bash script to zip and deploy a Scenegraph app
#you need to define username, password, and IP to match your environment
user=myUsername
pass=myPassword
roku_ip=x.x.x.x
#delete previous zips
rm -fv out/*
#generate zip for device
zip -r out/app.zip manifest source images components
#push zip to Roku
uagent='Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1)';
curl --user $user:$pass --digest --verbose --max-time 5 --user-agent "$uagent" --form archive=@app.zip --form "mysubmit=Replace" "http://$roku_ip/plugin_install" > /dev/null
exit 0 - Another option, for anyone using the Atom text editor, is to use the roku-develop package, which will automatically discover Rokus on the local network, and create/deploy .zip files to any/all of those Rokus.
- See also https://stackoverflow.com/a/45405595/226086 - it's in the style of tim_beynart's but slightly more polished from long use.
- sorry for this question , but i don't have much info on bash, can anyone tell me on how to use or deploy bash file to install an aplication.
- Save yourself some grief and do what belltown mentioned, use Atom to develop for Roku. The deploy package is actually more reliable than bash/curl.

- @Sechin - first, are you using Windows?
We had some discussion but did not produce a simple script https://forums.roku.com/viewtopic.php?f=34&t=97279
Having bash is by far not required to develop with command-line tools for Roku on Windows - but might be the path of least resistance, because borrowing other people's scripts for OSX and Linux
