I think I know what you are asking for. You want to make a single file
installer.
they aren't normally done but there are a few ways to do it primarily
they are actually shell scripts with a tar file encoded within them
there are 2 methods the first is to base 64 encode the file and make
it a variable within the shell script
the other is to include it at the tail of the script
this article describes the tail of the file method
