Did you even try searching?

Drag to the palm-install.bat in the Palm\SDK folder.

I don't have these batch files on my mac. So far I have a dir with the json, index, and icon file. I just can't get it to the phone or the emulator. My emulator does not have those batch files on MacOS

I thought that was for installing to the Pre, not the emulator?

Does it install both places at the same time?

To be safe, the command should be:

palm-install -d tcp filename.ipk

Otherwise the palm-install must decide which it wants from tcp (emulator) or usb (actual Pre) if both are running and connected to the computer.

The -d [usb|tcp] argument tells it the install destination. If you don't tell it, the script just picks "the first one". Not sure what the logic is and order, as I'm always explicit with my call.

I am having problems as well, this is how I (newbie) got it to work on my emulator:
open a command by doing: start, type cmd in search field. Command box opens.
1.type palm-package (put the name of your directroy here), then hit enter
2. this creates a .ipk file
3. open the emmulator
4. from the command box, type palm-install (insert the full name of the ipk file here) hit enter
5. the app should now be installed in the palm apps
6. to delete the app from the emulator, alt click the app

OK! First off, READ!

Second: When you have created your package using the palm-package command, you need to send that package o your emulator.

I ony use the emulator since I don't have the phone and so I noticed that using the palm-install (package directory/name.ipk) without parameters, it would get stuck connecting. What YOU have to do is

palm-install -d tcp (package directory/name.ipk)

This will set the destination to the emulator. (The emulator mus be runnning before this happens)

Hey thanks for the reply
I had tried this before and just tried it again and it won't work. It gives me an error that it can't find the emulator.

Hi,

Check out this tutorial:

It explains how to create and install apps on the emulator from dos using the bat files on the sdk.
