how to create an installer for a simple revit addin via template?

[benkoshy]

Hi there
First thank you for your project, for creating it.
I am trying to build a ‘hello world’ plugin
I want to give this dll to another user so that they can “install” the plugin and have it work on their computer.
I followed the instructions here: https://github.com/Nice3point/RevitTemplates/wiki/Installation#install-nuke-global-tool
And installed nuke. Then I ran:

nuke :setup

Incidentally this is what came up.

NUKE Global Tool 🌐 version 8.0.0 (Windows,.NETCoreApp,Version=v6.0)
Let's setup a new build!
🌳  Root directory:           C:\Users\benko\source\repos\RevitAddInTest
How should the project be named? (_build): Failed to read input in non-interactive mode.

I feel I am missing something major?

Any pointers on how I can build an installer for the revit addin?

Hi, you need to use the Solution template https://github.com/Nice3point/RevitTemplates/wiki/Templates#revit-addin-solution

Solution template contains a Readme file, with MSI build instructions
https://github.com/Nice3point/RevitTemplates/blob/main/samples/MultiProjectSolution/Readme.md

Please dont run nuke :setup command, the Nuke project already exists in the Solution root directory
