Create feeds to distribute multiple packages that have dependencies on one another and consolidate package file updates in
one location.
Place one or more packages (.nipkg) in a single source directory.
The packages in the feed can be any mix of package types.
Note
If a package depends on
packages hosted on ni.com, you do not need to include these packages in your
feed. Package Manager automatically downloads and installs dependencies from
ni.com.
Open a command prompt.
Change directories to the location of Package Manager.
The default location is
C:\Program Files\National Instruments\NI Package Manager.
Run the following command:
nipkg
feed-create
<target location of feed><location of source directory>.
For example, if you enter
C:\Program Files\National Instruments\NI Package Manager>
nipkg
feed-create
C:\temp\myTestFeedC:\temp\myTestPackage, Package Manager creates the feed manifest files in the
C:\temp\myTestFeed directory using the package files in
C:\temp\myTestPackage.
Place the source directory in a location that is accessible to your intended recipients, such as a network file server.
