I recently did this for Logic Pro X 10.0.1. All of the .pkg files that Logic downloads are located below. You can download them with a free download manager like iGetter:
- Copy all of the URLs below and save into a file, "LogicPackagesURLs.txt"
- Install iGetter
- In iGetter, select "File" => "Import URLs List"
- Select the file you just created, "LogicPackagesURLs.txt"
- Choose the location to store all of the .pkg files (for this tutorial, I used Downloads/LogicProXAdditionalContent)
- Start the download of all the files (approx 36.6 GB)

NOTE: This step can also be run immediately after you install logic before you run logic for the first time. That avoids the automatic 2 GB download of the initial content when Logic opens for the first time.
You have 2 options for installing all of the packages:
- Easy Installation - Double-Click/Open each and every one of the .pkg files, enter your password, and click continue.
- Advanced Installation - Create a script to run in Terminal that automatically installs every downloaded package for you.
Advanced Installation
NOTE: I ran the script below when the .pkg files were located on the same hard drive to which I was installing them. Not sure how it will work if located on an external drive—I never tested it :/
- In the folder into which you downloaded all of the .pkg files, create a new text file called "installAllPackages.sh" and paste the following script into it
#!/bin/bash
echo -e "Installing all .pkg files withing this folder"
FILES=*.pkg
for f in $FILES
do
if [ ! -f "$f" ]; then
echo -e "ERROR: no .pkg files found. Quitting..."
exit 1
fi
echo;echo;echo
echo "--------------------------------------------------------------------------------"
echo "installing $f"
echo
sudo installer -pkg $f -target /
echo "--------------------------------------------------------------------------------"
done
echo -e "\n\nDone!"
- Open Terminal, navigate to the folder containing the .sh and .pkg files, and run the script file you just created
$ cd Downloads/LogicProXAdditionalContent
$ bash installAllPackages.sh
- When script completes running in Terminal, quit and restart Logic.
- Select drop-down "Logic Pro X" => "Download Additional Content". You should see all packages installed like my screenshot below
