 # Packaging with CPack
 
 Repository for the [CPack exercise](https://github.com/Simulation-Software-Engineering/Lecture-Material/blob/main/03_building_and_packaging/cpack_exercise.md). The code is a slightly modified version of the [code used in the CMake exercise](https://github.com/Simulation-Software-Engineering/cmake-exercise).
+
+## Building the package
+
+```bash
+mkdir build && cd build
+cmake -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=ON -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ..
+make -j && make install
+cpack -G "TGZ;DEB"
+```
+
+## Installing the package
+
+```bash
+apt install ./cpackexample_0.1.0_amd64.deb
+```
+
+## Unpacking the package and running the binary
+
+```bash
+dpkg-deb -R cpackexample_0.1.0_amd64.deb /cpackexample-debian
+cd /cpackexample-debian/usr/bin && ./cpackexample
+```
