3 Installing Server Software and
Finishing Basic Setup
Use this chapter to learn the commands to install, set up, and
update Mac OS X Server software on local or remote
computers.
This chapter explains the commands to perform software setup and installation tasks.
Some computers come with Mac OS X Server software installed. However,
you might want to upgrade from a previous version, change a computer configuration,
automate software installation, or refresh your server environment.
Installing Server Software
To install Mac OS X Server or other software on a computer, use the
/usr/sbin/installer tool. You can use the installer tool locally or remotely.
The installer tool requires at least two arguments: the installation package and the
destination of the installation package.
For a standard installation, your target would be the root drive. Here is an example
installation command:
$ installer -pkg OSInstall.mpkg -target /
Other useful options include:
 lang—The operating system package requires that you choose a language. This flag
allows you to do so from the command line. The argument is a two-character ISO
language code. For English, it’s en.
 verbose—Prints the details of the installation. Its useful for monitoring progress.
For more information, see the installer man page.
