Create and Upload Eggs from Custom Packages – Enthought Knowledge Base

If you are running your own local instance of Enthought Deployment Server, you can upload your own packages to it with the following instructions:

Create an egg from your package in setuptools format by running:
```
python setup.py bdist_egg
```
Use EDM to re-package this egg into a format compatible with the Deployment Server by running: (Other options for repackaging can be explored by running edm repack-egg -h.)
```
edm repack-egg -a <arch> <path-to-setuptools-egg>
```
<arch> is the target architecture of the egg that you are building (e.g. win-x86_64). You can see all of the available architectures by running hatcher platforms list.
<path-to-setuptools-egg> is the path to the egg produced in the previous step.
This re-packaged egg can then be uploaded with hatcher. The basic format for the command is:
```
hatcher eggs upload <organization-name> <repository-name> <platform> <filename>
```
<organization-name> is set when the Enthought Deployment Server is installed.
<repository-name> is created from the user interface of the Enthought Deployment Server.
<platform> is the same as the previously mentioned <arch>.

There are two utilities mentioned above which you will need, edm and hatcher:
