Mac software packaging

If you need to create installer packages to add software to an Landesk, or to DeployStudio or JAMF workflow, there are a number of third-party products available to do so:

• Composer, from JAMF software

With Composer, you can inspect a computer and create a package of each application that has been installed on that system, offering a smooth transition from monolithic imaging environments to package-based imaging environments.

•

InstallEase, from Absolute Software

With InstallEase, a simple snapshot-based package generation tool for OS X, you can create installer packages with minimal effort.

• Iceberg and Packages

Iceberg and Packages (under the BSD license) provide interface options for the implementation of preflight and postflight scripts, as well as features specifically used for metapackage management.
