The installer command is used to install Mac OS X installer packages to a specified domain or volume. The installer command installs a single package per invocation, which is specified with the -package parameter ( -pkg is accepted as a synonym). It may be either a single package or a metapackage.

ccpizzaccpizza.pkg
file is selected. Pressing spacebar in Finder with the file selected should work too.1,06711 gold badge1515 silver badges2020 bronze badges
