There are a couple of "semi-standard" way of installing packages in unix
a) tar + manual modification b) self-executable a) tar it's just like a zip, you untar (unzip) it from a specific location and then set some variables (PATH, ld.conf (pointing to libraries) etc b) self-executable shell script There is a "feature" of the shell script that allows you to write a file from the program, something like this: echo > filetowrite << ENDOFTEXT 1 2 3 ENDOFTEXT This script will create file filetowrite with text enclosed by ENDOFTEXT.... In this way you can embed multiple files in one. The program will also set PATH, add library directory and so on... but it must do so based on the unix/linux distribution... HP-UX has a method Solaris has a method (pkgadd) Suse and others have rpm others use apt-get In order to not have problems a static version is the way to go....
