Software packaging and installer tools bundle application binaries, dependencies, and configurations into native packages and setup executables for desktop and server platforms. They are primarily used by software developers, release engineers, and system administrators looking to automate and streamline software distribution. Unlike general build automation or continuous integration platforms, these tools focus specifically on post-compilation artifact assembly, client-side installation mechanics, and dependency isolation.
