Download IzPack

The installer is an executable JAR file. On most operating systems you should be able to launch it by double-clicking on the file icon. If this does not work, the open a console and type:
java -jar installer-filename.jar.

The current version is 4.1.1 (release notes):

• cross-platform installer JAR
• Windows self-extracting installer
  (unlike the cross-platform JAR, this flavor asks for user rights escalation on Windows Vista)
-->

Maven users: we have an IzPack Maven plugin.

IzPack survey: thanks in advance for your feedback!

Building / checking out IzPack from source code is also possible, see the instructions on building IzPack from source.

Showcases

These showcases provide examples of installers built using IzPack.

• Glassfish v2 installer

Documentation

The IzPack documentation is bundled in the installer, but you can also browse it online.

Misc

The IzPack native launcher is available in two versions:

• version 2.2 (based on Qt)
• version 1.3 (based on wxWidgets, no longer maintained)

Ari Voutilainen, an IzPack developer, contributes a utility which tests IzPack language files in various ways: well-formness, finding missing ID's, ID's which are not needed, unknown elements and attributes: version 1.0.

The PackJacket project develops a GUI for creating IzPack based installers. The authors of PackJacket make it available under the GPLv3 license.
