Support installing as current user

Open njbmartin opened this issue 7 years ago • 1 comments

It looks like you can install Packages as the current user, but it fails to install a few things.

installer -pkg "/path/to/pkg/installer.pkg" -target CurrentUserHomeDirectory

Packages installs and runs absolutely fine, but cannot be run from the cli as packagesbuild is not installed in usr/local/bin.

Can this be easily adjusted?

Even if you could installed stuff in /usr/local/bin as the current user, this would not make the app work.

For instance, there is a XPC process that requires to be run as root using launchd.
