OSX install pkg in terminal


cd /
sudo mkdir /Volumes/mnt
sudo mount_afp afp://server/mnt /Volumes/mnt
sudo cp -R /Volumes/mnt/software.pkg /folder
sudo installer -pkg /folder/software.pkg -target / 
sudo shutdown -r now

* If you get permission denied while installing/coying the pkg from server, it is worth to check permission set on the pkg file.

第一次拆開Macbook Pro

Still remembered my first day at PCSSC was to fix an IMAC.
As days goes by, my skills and knowledge in OSX also gaining paces.
Just recently we were able to deploy 2 labs of iMAC with imaging software (DeployStudio).
With ssh enabled on the machines, it also make our job a lot easier by remote into it and do some works as required.
I probably should do some Apple courses in the future.

Macbook Pro

It was actually quite easy to open up the Macbook Pro, but not iMAC though.
