  2. Its very simple process to make your plugin installable. Just register 3 hooks in your plugin :

    register_activation_hook(__FILE__, 'your_activation_function_name');
register_deactivation_hook(__FILE__, 'your_deactivate_function_name');
register_uninstall_hook(__FILE__, 'your_delete_function_name');

    In your_delete_function_name function, please add code to remove the db changes you made and also code to remove your plugin directory.

    Now just zip the folder of your custom plugin folder and its ready to be installed in any wordpress site. It worked for me as i am working in wordpress 4.6.
