Basically, I developed my custom component and I’m able to run it and provide instructions on how to manually install it.

I’m looking for some documentation to provide the next step, adding it into the /essentials and/or creating an installer script that automatically deploys the component, just like /essentials does.

Did not see anything about this portion, which for me is essentially Deployment.  
Any ideas?

etc.

Easiest is to pull a copy of a similar plugin and adjust it for your component, see:

Perfect, thank you.

I can definitely break down one of those to figure it out.
