I needed to download a copy of the Silverlight.dmg file, but quickly found that if you hit the Silverlight site, and already have Silverlight installed you couldn’t get to the download. I am a Linux Systems/DevOps Engineer by trade, so I of course interact with most of my daily tasks from the command line. I had a hard time finding the information anywhere, and figured that, while this is somewhat specific to Silverlight, that it may be useful to others.Īlthough I use a Mac, and love the beauty of it’s UI, I spend most of my time on the command line. I spent about an hour, and learned some really cool things about the installation process for Mac apps packaged as ‘.pkg’ files, and how to go about installing them manually.
