# DEB using

General rules for using DEB

#### Available from version CQtDeployer 1.5

### How to use deb option

Just add to cqtdeployer option "deb".

#### For example:

``` bash
    cqtdeployer ... deb
```

Where:
* **...** - is list of other options.
* **deb** - option for create the deb package.


By default, cqtdeployer will create one deb package.
If you want create multi package destribution, you should use [Controll of packages options](Options.md)
To create a new package, use the -targetPackage [package; tar1] option

cqtdeployer create deb package for each packages.

Where:

* **package** - it is package name
* **tar1** - it is name of the target that should be included in this package.

Or you can describe packages in [configuration file](DeployConfigFile.md)


```json
{
"targetPackage": [
    [
        "package",
        "tar1"
    ],
],
"deb": true
}
```


## Custom Template for DEB

You can create a own Template fo the debian pacakges.

### The debian pacakge structure: 


```bash
└── Debian templates
    ├── debPacakge1
    │   └── DEBIAN
    │       ├── control
    │       ├── postinst
    │       └── prerm
    └── debPacakge2
        └── DEBIAN
            ├── control
            ├── postinst
            └── prerm

```

For include your templates into your destribution you need to add path of the Debian templates folder into deployConfig.json

```json
{
"targetPackage": [
    [
        "debPacakge1",
        "tar1"
    ],
    [
        "debPacakge2",
        "tar2"
    ],
],
"deb": "./Debian templates"
}
```


## Initialization of the debian template

For initialize default templates you can use the getDefaultTemplate option.
The getDefaultTemplate option extract default template of the cqtdeployer. This is can be very convinion if you want override default behavior of the installer or anothe distribution package.

### Example

### Getting default debian template.

```bash
cqtdeployer getDefaultTemplate deb
```
