3 Packaging Your Application

After your application has been tested locally, create an archive file (.zip, .tgz, .tar.gz ) that includes the application and any dependent libraries. You must also create a manifest.json file if you need to specify a launch command or other parameters.

When you have your archive, you can upload it, plus an optional deployment.json file, using the user interface or the REST API.

See Typical Workflow for Packaging Process to get started, then see other sections that apply to your application type.
