I was making a self extractable archives using makeself and able to generate and run it.But i have to run the install script as sourced script.

I am seeing an option to pass script argument in makeself command makeself.sh [args] archive_dir file_name label startup_script [script_args]

But none of my arguments are picking up. I have generated the archives using the following command makeself.sh ./test ./test.run "sample installer" ./install.sh

but how can I tell makeself to run install.sh file as sourced script

sh linux

i Have found out a alternate solution for the issue. Not the actual fix anyway it is working.Instead of calling install.sh as starter script i have added another script which will call the install.sh as sourced script. makeself.sh ./test ./test.run "sample installer" ./launcher.sh and launcher.sh wil contain the following content

Launcher.sh file

source ./install.sh
