Bundling PiBakery into a standalone installer #144

I have made a few changes in pibakery to make it compatible with my usecase and am using it by running npm start every time i need to use it.

I was wondering how I could bundle everything into a installer so that it can be distributed to other computers. Having the users follow the installation steps would be too much to ask for.

@davidferguson It would be great if you could give insights about how everything(pibakery along with the modified raspbian images) are bundled together to an executable.

You're looking for these scripts: https://github.com/davidferguson/pibakery/blob/master/package.json#L10-L12

Yep, those are what makes the executables. To make the installers, I use Packages for Mac, and InnoSetup for Windows, although I'll probably be changing to a standard .dmg "installer" for Mac soon.

Thanks, guys for the information. Just to clarify, are you able to package the OS image as well? The packaging fails for me if I try to bundle it.
