Install program via terminal

Hello, all. I should admit straight away that my use for terminal is pretty limited. Basically, I use it for changing permissions and for using mysql. So, I was a little puzzled when I recently tried to install a program and the read me file told me to use the command line to go to the appropriate directory and then run the install file. Does anyone know how I should go about actually doing this? As I said, my experience with terminal is limited, so forgive the newbieness of this question.

Most command line apps include a command-line installer, but there is no absolute method for it - the documentation that came with the app should tell you.
In general you'll use cd to change to the directory where the installer is, then run some kind of install script (like ./install but, again, the docs should give you the specifics.

  • Installing STRUCTURE via Terminal

    I am attempting to install the program STRUCTURE via Terminal. I have installed other programs via Terminal w/ no problems. However, I now get the line:
    mkdir: /usr/local/Structure/: Permission denied
    I tried going into the script and replacing /usr/local w/ my own directory info. Permission is then not denied, however, the installation fails. What am I doing wrong?

    If you're not using sudo when you're running the installer, you need to use it.

  • Installing Plugins via Terminal (Mac)

    I would like to be able to install plugins in Extension Manager via terminal and enable the installed plugins for a specific set of extensions (InCopy).  I have downloaded the Adobe Extension Manager Help and Tutorials document and it explains the process of installing plugins via terminal.  But when I run the install command, it actually launches Extension Manager in the console.
    I want to be able to install extensions and plugins silently and even when the user is not logged in.  Is this possible and can someone point me to a document which explains the process?

    For your coworker's issue, besides database file and plugin files, you also have to include files in EM Store folder and Mxi Flag folder.
    If your extension is per-machine extension (all files in extension will be installed to per-machine location), you have to include "/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Extension Manager CS6/Configuration/DB/ExMan.db", "/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Extension Manager CS6/EM Store/InCopy CS6/*.*" and "/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Extension Manager CS6/Mxi Flag/InCopy CS6/*.*"
    If your extension is per-user extension (all files in extension will be installed to folder under user home), you have to include "/Users/<UserName>/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Extension Manager CS6/Configuration/DB/ExManUser.db", "/Users/<UserName>/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Extension Manager CS6/EM Store/InCopy CS6/*.*" and "/Users/<UserName>/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Extension Manager CS6/Mxi Flag/InCopy CS6/*.*".
    You also have to ensure all the machines have the same user name.

  • How do I write and run c++ programs via terminal?

    First off, if this is the wrong place to post, my apologies. I'm running arch off a raspberry pi, and sshing into it on my computer (a mac, if it makes a difference), and I was wondering how I could run c++ programs on it. I don't want to install a desktop environment, because I think using terminal is a cool challenge. I'm assuming I can just use nano or some other text editor to write them, but how do I get them to run, as well as get all the libraries I would need? I am thinking just things that run in terminal, no programs with a gui. Any suggestions?

    First, I am going to suggest you take Arch Arm questions to their forums.    They are the experts.
    But, what you ask is easy -- if the tools are installed on your ras-pi.  Here is some code I did not write that generates data that can be piped to gnuplot to animate a Lorenz  attractor.

  • Installing FCP using terminal

    friends: i want to try and install final cut pro HD 4.5 on my macbook air 11 inch running 10.7.2 (if possible). this same program is running great on my other macbook air 11 inch using a slightly earlier OS X (Lion?). 10.7.2 as you know does not support 10.7.2, but i have heard that sometimes it is just the installer that needs the powerpc so i am trying to install it via terminal. the problem is, i do not know how to configure my string properly. when i drop the .app into the terminal window i get this location:
    /Users/mycomputername/Desktop/Final\ Cut\ Pro\ HD.app
    and i was using variations of this:
    sudo installer -package /Users/mycomputername/Desktop/Final\ Cut\ Pro\ HD.app -target /
    try not to laugh, i am not a coder, just trying to get my computer to run this program that i love. the new FCP is too expensive and i don't even like it. if you can assist me in creating the proper string i would be grateful. i know that someone was able to install final cut studio using this method.
    thanks so much for your help!

    I do not use Final Cut Pro, but I play one on Television!
    Here is a quote from Wikipedia:
    In April 2004, version 4.5 of Final Cut Pro was introduced and branded by Apple as "Final Cut Pro HD" due to its native support for Panasonic's tape-based DVCPRO HDformat for compressed 720p and 1080i HD over FireWire. (The software had been capable of uncompressed HD editing since version 3.0, but at the time had required expensive video cards and high speed storage.)
    Any program written in 2004 would have been a PowerPC application.  After Apple migrated all of its future Macs to the Intel platform in 2006, it included in OS X Tiger (and later Leopard, and optionally in Snow Leopard) emulation software that would allow most PowerPC apps to continue to run in Intel.  This sofware was based upon technology that Apple licensed from a 3rd party and which Apple called Rosetta.
    Apple's license to include Rosetta in newer versions of OS X expired with Lion and now Mt. Lion.
    Hence no matter how well you use Terminal, or even Pacifist to install FCP 4.5, it just will NEVER run under Lion on your Mac.
    If your MacBook Air 11" is old enough (2010, MacBookAir3,1) to boot and run Snow Leopard, you can either partition your hard drive or add an external hard drive and install Snow Leopard into it.  You can then "dual-boot" into Snow Leopard when you want to run FCP 4.5 or into Lion when you need iCloud or otherwise.
    Alternatively you can install Snow Leopard Server into Parallels 8 on any 11" MacBook Air and have FCP 4.5 running concurrently with Lion, such as here where the PowerPC app Appleworks is running on a Lion Mac:
                                  [click on image to enlarge]
    Apple is now selling Snow Leopard Server for $19.99 + sales tax & shipping costs at 1.800.MYAPPLE (1.800.692.7753) - Apple Part Number: MC588Z/A (telephone orders only).
    Parallels offers a 14 day free trial download from its website.  It sells retail for $79 but can be found for a discount on the internet.
    NOTE: You are confusing your version with Final Cut Express 3.5 and Final Cut Studio 2, both of which will run in Lion, but whose installers have problems in Lion and Mt. Lion due to a "bug" in the installer program.  For those versions, as pointed out in Jeremy Johnstone's blog, using Terminal (or alternatively, using Pacifist) to install will achieve success in using those versions in Lion.

    It appears as if my startup disk has been reversed and not using the fusion ssd portion as it should.  At least its now reversed as to what it used to be originally before.  the 128gb ssd used to be on top.  Is my mac booting fusion correctly?  Thank you for responding as I was about to reformat.

  • What is a good program to install windows via a flashdrive...Have the iso

    What is a good program to install windows via a flashdrive...Have the iso...

    What are you trying to do?
    You can install Windows in a Boot Camp partition and have a Dual Boot system where you run one operating system at a time. Either Windows or Mac OS X.
    Or you can use one of the 3 available virtual machine software parograms to install Windows in a virtual machine on top of Mac OS X. Then you can run both Windows and OS X at the same time.
    If you go with the Boot Camp option then you really need to burn that ISO file onto a DVD disc as Boot Camp likes to install from disc.
    If you go with the virtual machine option then you can use that ISO file as it is to install Windows. You will just point the VM to the USB thumb drive to find the Windows OS to do the install from.

  • Opening program through terminal on install disc

    okay, so here is my situation: I am booting from the OS X install disc (can't get onto my internal HDD), and then going to Disk Utility (I have external HDD attached), mounting a disk image on the external HDD (the application is also directly on the /Volumes/External HD), and trying to run this program from Terminal on the install disc by changing to the directory, and then doing "open programname", only to find that "open" isn't a command that exists. However, I am pretty sure that is the command. Anyone know how to do this? (the program is a .app btw).

    I've used the open command in Terminal to launch a program which will open the particular file, you add the application option to the open command:
    Tigin:~ francine$ open -a TextWrangler /Users/francine/Desktop/mwindex.html
    You can also open a program in Terminal with the complete path to the program's executable, ie:
    Tigin:~ francine$ /Volumes/Not200/Applications/Utilities/BatChmod.app/Contents/MacOS/BatChmod
    It will only run as long as the Terminal window is open.

  • Automatically adjust display brightness via Terminal / Pretty good solution

    This hint is for all of you who experience any problem with the adjustment of the display brightness.
    *Short version*
    After a cold and/or warm start, it sometimes happens that the brightness was changed by the system itself to its dim power saver setting or maximum value and sometimes - what a big surprise - remains as it has been configured.
    I had spotted plenty of articles about this phenomenon, but none of them yielded a solution. I then decided to solve this problem by going the pragmatically way and use some kind of software which dims the display to my preferred setting. And the winner is: brightness.
    This tiny program works perfect and you will love its benefit by using it in terminal - yes, brightness is a command line utility. On top of this, brightness is able to control different displays, internal and external. The clou: beside using the precompiled binary you can also download the source code here, modify it to make the program fit your needs and then compile it using Xcode.
    1. Installation
    Download a precompiled version of the command line utility brightness here and extract the binary to your desired path (e.g. /usr/bin).
    2. Usage
    "brightness -l -v" dumps the current display attributes (-v for verbose mode) while "brightness 0.5" modifies the brightness of the main display to half of its max value and "brightness -m 1 1" let a second display become shiny. Just play little bit around.
    3. Automatically launch
    Simply create a .plist file and drop it, for example, in ~/Library/LaunchAgents. Or make use of an AppleScript or a Terminal Script to let it launch.
    That's it. Comments are welcome.
    *Long version*
    It seems to be, that the adjustment of the display brightness of an iMac and MacBook/Pro (maybe also other models are affected) drives a life of its own. After a cold and/or warm start, it sometimes happens that the brightness was changed by the system itself to its dim power saver setting or maximum value and sometimes - what a big surprise - remains as it has been configured.
    I had spotted plenty of articles about this phenomenon, but only found terms like "Did you already disabled the ambient light sensor", "Did you already reset the PRAM?", "Did you already reset the NVRAM?", "Did you already…BLAH". Far from it, all of these tips have one thing in common: none of them yielded a solution. As a last resort, I thought, it was a good idea to install 10.6 from the scratch just to find out that the above mentioned phenomenon occurs right after a few days of using OS X.
    I then decided to solve this problem by going the pragmatically way and use some kind of software which dims the display to my preferred setting. There are a few applications to do this, but always it was necessary to drag a slider or type in a value to dim the display, so none of them allowed an automatic configuration. No, I am not a very sophisticated person, I only prefer to use software which is simply well-thought-out. And the winner is: brightness.
    This tiny program works perfect and you will love its benefit by using it in terminal - yes, brightness is a command line utility. On top of this, brightness is able to control different displays, internal and external. The clou: beside using the precompiled binary you can also download the source code here, modify it to make the program fit your needs and then compile it using Xcode.

    2. Usage
    "brightness -l -v" dumps the current display attributes (-v for verbose mode) while "brightness 0.5" modifies the brightness of the main display to half of its max value and "brightness -m 1 1" let a second display become shiny. Just play little bit around.
    3. Automatically launch
    Sure, OS X provides different ways to launch a program automatically. If you are an enthusiast, feel free to use the one you prefer and stop reading, because you are already finished. If you are not that familiar to OS X take the next step as an advice.
    An easy way to trigger OS X launching a program automatically is to add the desired program to your Login Items. But, in this case, it will not work the easy way, because we have to launch a so called classic command line utility with a given option. It is not like starting Mail or iCal, which appears as typical applications to OS X. You must start brightness via Terminal by typing "brightness 0.5" (without quotes) to modify the main display brightness to half of its max.
    We now use a Launch Agent. Just create a .plist file, e.g. com.brightness.plist, with your favorite text editor. For the lazy ones here comes the template (simply copy and paste):
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
    <plist version="1.0">
    <dict>
    <key>Disabled</key>
    <false/>
    <key>Label</key>
    <string>com.brightness</string>
    <key>ProgramArguments</key>
    <array>
    <string>/usr/bin/brightness</string>
    <string>.5</string>
    </array>
    <key>RunAtLoad</key>
    <true/>
    </dict>
    </plist>
    Save the file in ~/Library/LaunchAgents, if you want brightness to be executed everytime you log in.
    You could also use an AppleScript. Copy and paste this code "do shell script "brightness 0.5"" (without the leading and closing quotes) to a new Script. Then choose Save As and enable the Option to make it Execute only. Now add the Script to your Login Items.
    Another option is to use a Terminal Script. Copy and paste this code
    #!/bin/bash
    /usr/bin/brightness 0.5
    exit 0
    and save it as, for example, brightness.sh. Make the Script executeable and add it to your Login Items.
    That's it. Comments are welcome.

    Thanks. Works great. I made a ScriptBundle and a User Agent (launchd) . So if someone sets the display brightness to maximum, it automaticaly corrects it at next login.
    The ScriptBundle contains your mentoined command line utility and the following applescript:
    do shell script quoted form of (POSIX path of (path to resource "brightness")) & " 0.7"
    Be aware of the space in " 0.7" or whatever value you have set.

  • Problems installing Dreamweaver on Terminal Server 2008

    Hi,
    We are running a Terminal Services server with Windows Server 2008 and have successfully installed many programs that end users can run via Remote Applications and they all work.
    I have recently installed Dreamweaver on the Terminal Server, but failed at the first hurdle as I could not get it to run on the terminal server logged on as administrator.  I click on the link to the program & nothing happens, when I check in Task Manager there is nothing listed in the list of applications, but dreamweaver is running as a process. If I click on it again, I get another process running, and so on...
    We have a site license for the whole CS3 Design Premium set of programs and we usually run the installed program, enter the license key when prompted then all other installed CS3 programs run on that workstation. However, I cannot even get this program to prompt for the license key.
    Does anyone have any ideas where I am going wrong?
    Many thanks

  • Trying to minuplate UPnP in my router via terminal

    Hey guys, I have a program I have a program I want to run which requires a few specific ports to be open, when I'm at my friends house or my families house I don't have access to their router and don't feel like Master Resetting their Router as they almost always forget the password (Never left default) So I'm just stuck doing nothing, so I want to find a program to allow me to send requests to the router itself which has UPnP enabled, so I can open whatever ports I need at that time, or a way for me to do it via terminal so I can just write an automated script
    I looked up: UPnP Router Control, which is out of date, so it failed to install.
    A program to do it is ok, but personally I would like to find a command which would allow me to do it myself so I can just write a script, but even with all my google searching I have not been able to find anything yet. Also, issue is not with any firewall on my computer, all that is managed correctly.
    Thanks for any help!!

  • Problem trying to install XP via Boot Camp, computer almost died

    Hi there,
    I just recently purchased a 24" 2.8Ghz intel iMac 500GB harddrive with OS X 10.5.2. I plugged everything together yesterday morning and the computer was going fine, just liek a dream. On a side note I was genuinely impressed with the ease of setting up and how quick, intuitive and reliable the mac and OS X Leopard was.
    This is a bit long but I think I need to go into detail what happened in order for any of you to fully understand what happened to my mac.
    Later in the afternoon I decided to install Win XP via Boot Camp. I knew that XP SP2 or later and VISTA was recommended but I decided to use my XP Home Edition "2002 version" install disc instead.
    I opened up the Boot Camp Assistant, partitioned 15GB of the 500GB harddrive, inserted WinXP install disc and the computer restarted with everything going to plan thus far. I was going through the install process as normal but I came to a window asking which partition to use to install XP ("c" or "d") or if I wanted to create another partition. I also had my iPod still connected to the computer and I think the installation recognised that harddrive too (all 12GB of space left on my iPod). I wasn't sure what to do so I decided to quit the install process by pressing the relevent keys ("press F3 to quit" etc). Upon automatically restarting the computer I first came to a white screen for about1 or so minutes and then a black screen came up with white text asking me to "press any key to 'something' the CD" (can't remember what the rest of the text was), but the keyboard was unresponsive. I turned the computer off and unplugged it as according to the instruction manual that came with the mac, waited the suggested 5-6 seconds, turned it back on but I came across the same screens. I couldn't eject the XP install disc either. I restarted the computer again, held down the eject button whilst restarting, the disc thankfully ejected but I then came across the same black screen but with no text, just a white flashing underscore cursor. I decided to remove my iPod and restart the computer again. AGAIN I came across the same white screen, then black screen with the flashing white underscore cursor and unresponsive keyboard. I decided to insert the OS X install disc 1 (I don't remember if I inserted it whilst at the black screen or if I restarted the computer and THEN inserted the OS X install disc). The disc loaded slowly but I eventually went through the install process (choosing your language) and then came across a window asking me "Where would you like to install OS X?" but I couldn't install it anywhere. I opened "disk utility" or some program with the word "disk" in it, had no idea what I was doing, somehow created a new volume (though I thought I was actually erasing the XP partition I set up earlier) but in MS-DOS FAT Format or something. I then was able to choose a place (or volume) to install OS X but I had to change the format of the untitled volume from FAT to something along the lines of "Mac OS X journaled (enabled)" (whatever that means). There were other format options available but I just chose the top one on the list (Mac OS X journaled (enabled)). I then made a full install of OS X 10.5.2 and late last night downloaded the latest pdate for Leopard (10.5.4) along with other updates. The computer is working fine now thankfully andeverything seems to be back to normal.
    I just want to know what actually happened. What did happen to my computer? Did I somehow wipe the harddrive? Why didn't the computer reboot to HDD when I ejected the WinXP install disc? Which format is the HDD formatted to? What does "Mac OS X journaled (enabled)" mean? Also how come my HDD is 500GB whereas when I checked Boot Camp Asistant a second time (but not installing Win XP again) My HDD is 460GB with 440GB of available space? Is there still another partition I am unable to see? Is there an extra 40GB of data floating around the harddrive that I'm unaware of? What are the factory settings for my computer? I really hope I haven't formatted the disk and installed the OS to settings that weren't like how the computer was originally set BEFORE I regrettably tried to install WinXP via Boot Camp.
    If anyone could respond or give me some sort of advice, explanation or help I would very much appreciate your assistance.
    Cheers.

    According to wiki "the documentation from Apple states that Windows XP Service Pack 2 or Windows Vista is requisite for a Boot Camp installation, and it also mentions that trying to install an unsupported operating system could prevent the computer from booting even into Mac OS X". Sure that was from wiki, but it does seem to support and somewhat validate the problem I had with installing an earlier edition of XP.

    Thanks for the info on the Filesystem info. My problem is that installing OS X on a mac is just a little bit more technical than installing Windows on a PC as there are a few more things to consider. Plus I'm not familiar with any of the utility programs as well. It's a **** miracle I managed to somehow create a volume to install OS X on when I thought I was erasing the partition I created for WinXP.
    But I'm still not sure about the missing 40GB from my 500GB HDD. Upon coming to the desktop straight after OS X was fully re-installed I noticed that the HDD only had 460GB and that 440GB of it available space. So the full installation of OS X was 20GB, but where has the other 40GB gone? I swear I saw that I had much more available space on my harddrive (BEFORE I tried to partition my HDD under Boot Camp Assistant and stuffing up the computer). Is the missing 40GB from the ORIGINAL FACTORY INSTALL of OS X INCLUDING all my iTunes music and other files I uploaded to the computer earlier? It would make sense but there's no way, as far as I know, of checking this. Any ideas?
    Cheers.
