Note: It is best to do this on a computer that is not yours, and on a computer that you will not need to use for anything else while Composer is running.

  1. Open Composer 
  2. Select Normal Snapshot 
  3. Name the package following this format 
    • APP_NAME - VERSION
    • For example: Google Chrome - 60.2
  4. Composer will take a snapshot of the system, DO NOT DO ANYTHING WHILE THIS IS RUNNING.
  5. Once composer is done taking a snapshot, install the application as you normally would.
  6. Composer will take a snapshot of the system, DO NOT DO ANYTHING WHILE THIS IS RUNNING.
  7. Composer will display a list of directories that were modified in-between the first and second snapshot.  Using your best common sense, exclude directories that were modified as a result of background services (other things the computer is doing), rather then the installation itself. For example...
    • Anything in "/Applications/APP_NAME" is probably correct
    • Something in "/Trash" is probably wrong
    • If unsure, DO NOT BE AFRAID TO ASK FOR HELP
  8. Once the package has been created, upload it to Casper Admin
