How to install a Mac application using Terminal

Question

Apple suggests that prior to submitting to the Mac application store, the installation process for Macs be tested using the command

sudo installer -store -pkg pa         


        

Answer 1

Do you have any spaces in your package path? You should wrap it up in double quotes to be safe, otherwise it can be taken as two separate arguments

sudo installer -store -pkg "/User/MyName/Desktop/helloWorld.pkg" -target /
