Better install documentation for packing?

[burtonator]

We have a separate project for kibana debian packages:

https://github.com/spinn3r/kibana-4-deb

would be nice to bundle sense with it ... is there any documentation on how to bundle it?

grunt build should be all you need to generate an archive to install into kibana. Just make sure to run npm install first to install all dependencies.

Right but what I'm saying is that dpkg is its own package manager so I guess what you're saying is that I should embed the grunt package inside the debian package and then have debian install it via npm install?

Hmm, not sure how dpkg works or how it would interact, but I imagine that just like Kibana you would want to install a version of sense that had all of its node_modules bundled inside. This is what grunt build would generate for you.
