Ibex

Ibex (Install Builder EXtension) is the cross-platform host for installer projects and Install in-place (add to PATH). It is not a software catalog installer.

What it is for

  • Append a build or tools folder to the user PATH without copying files.

  • Scaffold installer.kdl and build via plugins (portable zip, NSIS, Inno, MSI/MSIX, AppImage).

  • Emit CI workflows without a local package build (ibex emit-ci).

  • Discover and open optional designer GUIs for backends that have them.
