1. Copy the application installer (.apk) to a pendrive.
2. Create a config.json file into the root folder of the pendrive.
3. Copy the following into the JSON file, and set the required configuration.

{
"serverUrl": "https://server.mycompany.com",
"installRuleKey": "",
"advanced": {
"debugLog": false,
