What is in a SIS module?
A SIS module typically includes:
-
a command-line extension library, which adds management commands to
sis-console -
an install directory, which contains deployable units, configuration files and an installer application.
Module directory structure
SIS module zip archives must be extracted from the SIS home. Each zip archive has the following structure:
| File or directory | Description |
|---|---|
admin/remove-<module-name>-<module-version>.script |
a script to run from the command-line console that will remove the module |
admin/lib/extensions/ |
command-line console extension library |
modules/<module-name>/<module-version>/install/ |
the install directory |
modules/<module-name>/<module-version>/install/CHANGELOG |
the change log |
modules/<module-name>/<module-version>/install/install-module.sh |

modules/<module-name>/<module-version>/install/units |
