5. For each OS your application targets:

   2. Combine cortcl and your application to create new executable.
   3. Add new executable to application repository.

Distribution

The easiest way to distribute the executables is by putting them online for download.

The executables themselves to do not require special hosting and are compatible with any form of file sharing.

Independent distribution, on the other hand, requires a hosting environment capable of running Fossil. Thankfully, Fossil's platform coverage and minimal requirements make it compatible with most hosting services. Some even specialize in Fossil, and some of those have a free offering.

Once you have an instance of Fossil running on the internet, uploading the application is as simple as cloning its repository to the remote host.
