Hi,

I'm not sure this is right list to ask, but I haven't found one
more appropriate...

Is there a way to install packages (.pkg) in a non-GUI way, e.g.
from the command-line in a terminal? I know that the Apple Soft-
ware Update program must be doing something like this.


actually, it uses the installer framework..

However, as of 10.2, there is an Installer for the command line.

It's creatively named

installer

and lives in

/usr/sbin/installer


try man installer
