# Bundles
|
|
|
|
This document describes how the distributions are bundled to provide releases
|
|
that work out-of-the box, allowing to use the latest engine without downloading
|
|
any additional dependencies.

## Project Manager Bundle
|
|
|
|
The Project Manager is distributed with latest engine version and its
|
|
corresponding Graal runtime to avoid having to download them at first startup.
|
|
|
|
The bundled components are placed in their respective subdirectories (not as
|
|
packages, but extracted and ready to use) and a bundle marker file called
|
|
`.enso.bundle` must be placed next to these directories so that the Project
|
|
Manager can detect the bundle.
|
|
|
|
The `project-manager` executable looks for the `.enso.bundle` marker in the
|
|
parent directory of the directory that it is, itself, located in. So overall,
|
|
the bundle should have the following structure (the actual engine and Graal
|
|
versions may of course differ):
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
enso
|
|
├── bin
|
|
│ └── project-manager
|
|
├── dist
|
|
│ └── 0.2.1-SNAPSHOT
|
|
├── other-project-manager-files
|
|
└── runtime
|
|
└── graalvm-ce-java11-20.2.0
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If the bundle is detected, the additional `dist` and `runtime` directories are
|
|
added as secondary search paths for components. Thus, the `project-manager` can
|
|
use both components present in the default
|
|
[installed location](distribution.md#installed-enso-distribution-layout) or
|
|
those from the bundle. In a situation that the same component were to be
|
|
available both in the installed location and the bundle, the installed location
|
|
is preferred. New components are installed in the installed location, never next
|
|
to the bundles.
|
|
|
|
In fact, it is possible for the bundle directory to be read-only (which may be
|
|
the case for example if the Project Manager bundle is packaged as part of IDE's
|
|
AppImage package). In such situation, it will be impossible to uninstall the
|
|
bundled components and a relevant error message will be returned.
|
|
|
|
## Launcher Bundles
|
|
|
|
Bundles are also distributed for the launcher, but these are implemented using a
|
|
different mechanism.
|
|
|
|
Since the launcher can run in
|
|
[portable mode](distribution.md#portable-enso-distribution-layout), the bundled
|
|
engine and runtime are simply included within its portable package. They can
|
|
then be used from within this portable package or
|
|
[installed](distribution.md#installing-from-a-portable-distribution).
