. The pkg option will build a standard pkg installer file, which will install with any system that can install pkg files.dmg
disk image file, with the payload of the installer as contents. On its own, however, this dmg cannot do anything. The Jamf Pro management system how ever will understand what to do and how to install the files from the dmg to a system. There are certain features in Jamf Pro which can install and distribute files to user directories and templates (called ‘Fill User Templates’ FUT and ‘Fill Every User’ FEU) which only work with dmg installers in Jamf Pro.pkgbuild
. You can easily convert a Composer generated installer dmg to a standard pkg with these commands:/Volumes/Sample
(the name will depend on the dmg)Sample-1.0.pkg
in your current working directory. (I like to include the version in the pkg file name, but that is entirely optional.)/Applications
to install (use quickpkg
for those dmgs).
