Overview
This is an overview of how to create a module loadable package that will copy files into your instance of Sugar. This is most helpful when your instance of Sugar is hosted in our On-Demand environment or by a third party.
For more details on the $manifest or $installdef options, you can visit the ‘Introduction to the Manifest File’.
