I have built 3D slicer using the source code, now I want to share the built .exe file with a friend so that he could run it on his computer. Would you suggest any way to do this?

To create an installer you need to build the `PACKAGE` target. You need to have NSIS installed, as described in the [building instructions](https://www.slicer.org/wiki/Documentation/Nightly/Developers/Build_Instructions#Common_Prerequisites_2).

Thank you I’ll try.  
But I’ll keep bugging you with some more stupid questions.  
Kindly bear with me 😀
