macOS

After building, run the bundle_install.sh script within the build directory which will create a Sourcetrail.app bundle and generate a Sourcetrail_<version>.dmg container.

Linux

Run ./setup/Linux/createPackages.sh from the main directory, which creates both a .tar.gz and a .AppImage package in the main directory. Packaging depends on linuxdeployqt.
