rene Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 (edited) I'm trying to install Lion via terminal with: sudo open /Volumes/LionPen/System/Installation/Packages/OSInstall.mpkg In Leopard and Snow Leopard this method works but not in Lion. Getting error: The installation failed. The installer could not install the software because there was no software found to install. When booting from LionPen (USB stick) it's ok, but I want to do it via terminal. Am I missing something? Do I have to change something in the script of OSInstall.mpkg?

Administrators oldnapalm Posted July 6, 2011 Administrators Share Posted July 6, 2011 It doesn't work, need to boot with installer. Nawcom released patched OSInstall framework and mpkg to allow installation in MBR partitions. I don't know if it also allows installation from running system. http://blog.nawcom.com/?p=812 Quote Donation with Paypal HERE Donation with Stripe HERE Donation with BuyMeaCoffee HERE Donation with Mercado Livre HERE Donation with Binance 0xdbe48ef6b158f1dd0035d7f49555c99e52f72714 Donation with BTC 33HeGCuCSh4tUBqdYkQqKpSDa1E7WeAJQ3 Donation with PicPay @danielnmaldonado Donation with PiX @danielnmaldonado@gmail.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
