/S silent install Mac OS

Archived Forums Questions & Answers

The network administrator for a client of ours is wishing to distribute the Unity Web Player to those in the company that use our product so it is installed and ready to run when they use our site. I told him about the /S option for the Windows install, but I've never seen anything published about the Mac OS installer. There are a fair number of Mac users, but I'm not sure if anything can be done on their side to automate deployment to that platform.

Anyone familiar?

Did you try, via the command-line, <WebPlayer.app> --help or -? Those are common command-line "help" parameters.

Yes, this is possible. We do so in our automated testing rigs. Apple's installer has a command line version, "installer". This command should silently install the web player from a command line:

sudo installer -pkg "$installerPath" -target /

where $installerPath is the path to the .pkg installer package.
