Publishing LiveCubes

Standalone LiveCubes

Standalone LiveCubes are LiveCubes which run as a complete, self-extracting application and can be shared with anyone on a Windows platform. The settings for the LiveCube are set in the Share LiveCube ( ) options found in the File menu.

You can share published LiveCubes by sending the self-running executable file via email in the same way a self-extracting zip file can be shared. LiveCube recipients simply click the file and it runs automatically.

To publish the LiveCube, on the dialog, select the Publish button in the Publishing Options section of the dialog.
