$ /usr/sbin/installer -pkg "packages/mysoft_v1.pkg" -target /

The following example will similarly mount an .iso image file:

:MySoft/MySoft-1.0.iso/packages/mysoft_v1.pkg::

3 Specify whether you want to allow Mac users to interact with the program installation.

• To enable user interaction, in the Run mode drop-down list, select Run with user's rights

or select the combination of the Run with administrative rights and Allow users to view

and interact with the program installation options.

• To disable user interaction, set the Run mode option to Run with administrative rights

and clear the Allow users to view and interact with the program installation option.

If you allow user interaction, a dialog will be displayed in OS X during program installation giving

the user a choice to continue or to postpone installing the program. The message in the dialog

will say whether an additional action, such as computer restart or user log-off, will be required

(or may be required) after the program installation finishes. Based on this info, the user can

decide whether to continue or to postpone the program installation. Please note that if a

program installation is postponed, no other program can be installed before this one is installed

first.

4 Click Next.

The Requirements page

Specify the following optional properties:

• Estimated disk space. Specifies the required disk space required to install the software on a

target Mac. If a Mac doesn't have enough disk space, the software will not be installed on it

and the Parallels Mac Client will report an error to the Configuration Manager.

• Maximum allowed run time (minutes). Limits the maximum run time of the installation

process. If the specified value is exceeded, the installation process is terminated and the failure

is reported to the Configuration Manager.

Click Next and complete the wizard

Once the package is created, you can set additional package and program options that are not

available in the wizard. The following subsections describe these options.

Specifying Actions to Perform After the Package Installation Finishes

You can configure the package program to restart a Mac or log off the user after the package

installation finishes. Use these options when the software that you are distributing to Macs requires

such actions to complete the installation.

To configure the program:

1 In the Configuration Manager console, select the package that you created and click the

Programs tab at the bottom of the Packages workspace.
