Currently i develop a joomla 1.7 component. Each time i want to test the component, make a zip from my component source folder and install it into my joomla system. After testing i uninstall the component, code some stuff and redo the process.

Is there a way to make it more easy?

    Here's something I've done that might be helpful to you (depending on your environment): Since different parts of the component go to different parts of the Joomla installation, I create a bash script that basically uploads to my server via ssh the changes I made, to the different locations. Language files go to the language dir, the component itself goes to a different directory, etc. Hope it helps! – Víctor López García Sep 12 '12 at 23:18

if you don't want to zip then you can use Install Directory enter image description here

  • I am already doing it that way, but i do not want to click install every time i have changed something. Thanks anyway – Grrbrr404 Jan 09 '12 at 12:11
  • Today i just tryed to install again without uninstalling it before ... What should i say it works well. I can live with one button press – Grrbrr404 Jan 14 '12 at 08:01

You can get some detail from this doc. It includes some topics regarding development process.

Since you are installing/uninstalling I assume that you are testing that part of your application. I would suggest using the method described by Doers above.

If you just want to create a working installer and focus on the core logic of your application you can give our Joomla Component Creator a spin. https://www.component-creator.com/en/
