# \[MANDATORY] Creating a Flat Package

Once you have added all the files to the package and [configured the deployment options](/landing/pd-ag/parallels-desktop-business-administrators-guide/deploying-parallels-desktop-for-mac-business-edition/alternative-mass-deployment-via-deployment-package/preparing-the-autodeploy-package/configuring-deployment-options.md) in the `deploy.cfg` file, it's time to turn the resulting folder into a flat package suitable for deployment via your MDM solution of choice.

Do the following:

1. Inside the Autodeploy Package folder, locate the **Scripts** folder, right-click on it, and choose **Services** > **New Terminal at Folder**. This will open a Terminal window right in the Scripts directory where the build script is located.\

2. Launch the package building script by typing the following command and pressing Enter:

```
./prepare --dest {Destination_folder}
```

E.g.,

```
./prepare --dest /Users/{user_name}/Downloads
```

This action creates a .pkg file in the destination folder that is ready for distribution.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.parallels.com/landing/pd-ag/parallels-desktop-business-administrators-guide/deploying-parallels-desktop-for-mac-business-edition/alternative-mass-deployment-via-deployment-package/preparing-the-autodeploy-package/mandatory-creating-a-flat-package.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
