Still, it's an effective way to create bootable media for a Mac computer. Here's how it works: Step 1: Once you have the macOS install DMG file on a Windows PC, click on Windows + R to open the run dialog box, and type in CMD, then hit Enter. When the Command Prompt opens up, use the following command to convert the file to ISO. https://intensivetraining.weebly.com/java-for-os-x-2014-001.html. The updater portion downloads the installer file and executes a shell command to install it. On MacOS our 'installer' takes the form of.dmg file. I need to be able to silently mount the disk image, copy/overwrite the contained.app (s) to the destination directory, then unmount the disk image.

is that some packages (notably Fink) don't work using this installer application. Kind of frustrating when you need a command-line app on a remote computer and you can't install Fink in order to install the app! :-) --- www.AcornWebDesigns.com Quality websites for inexpensive prices (Is that an oxymoron?)
I also discovered this installer command the day that I read the recent article here about installing a no-ip linux client as a startup item. The .pkg that was pointed to by that article did not work via the command line. I had to do it from home. Even then it still didn't seem to be workgin right, though, so I removed it and installed the fink version which seems to be working, once I understood how to set that version up. A fully working command-line installer is much needed, but if it works on some things now that's still pretty good. --- --- I hate Microsoft and I vote
You have to run these packages (OS updates usually fall under this category) from root. cd / sudo /usr/sbin/installer -pkg /path/to/pkg.pkg -target /

sudo reboot is a harsh command, I believe you'd use all unsaved documents, I wouldn't recommend doing it this way. Something like: sudo osascript -e 'tell application 'Finder' to restart' Would be much better. It would get canceled if there is unsaved data.
Dead by daylight bot download. arr, but if your using the cli to install packages most likely the box is on a remote site, so u cant press 'save' or 'don't save' and the restart would time out there has to be away of avoiding this because it would be nice to be able to restart and / or log out a user via the cli jameso --- 'The time has come,' the walrus said.

there is . use VNC to control the GUI remotely. for the few times I really need GUI access to my server remotely, it's perfect. For security's sake, don't add a firewall rule to open the port. Tunnel the connection through ssh from the machine you're sitting on . ssh -L 5900:localhost:5900 remote_ip_or_dns Then use localhost & port 5900 in your vnc client. You can have the remote machine always running the vnc server, or run it from the ssh shell.

The applescript is all very nice, but if no one is logged into the remote machine is does not work, the response is '29:36: execution error: Application isn't running (-600)' (tested with OS X 10.3.5)
You can create packages from the command line. i've done it in 10.4, but haven't tried in 10.5. in tiger, PackageMaker will load in /Developer/Applications/Utilities/PackageMaker.app but really all .app's are just folders, so you can call the CLI by /Developer/Applications/Uitilities/PackageMaker.app/Contents/MacOS/PackageMaker you'll have to feed it a number of flags like -build and -p. i think there's a man page for it somewhere.

You may also find installpkg to be helpful. Installpkg will allow you to easily install multiple packages with just a single command. If you have a collection of dmg's each of which has an installer in the root directory, installpkg makes installing all the packages a snap.
