Good Tutorial On Installing Third-Party Software For Mac OS X?
Hey Everyone,
I have a friend who recently switched over from Windows to a MacBook Pro running Mac OS X 10.4.x.
Recently he asked me to explain to him how installing software on Mac OS X works. He was always used to the typical Windows setup.exe installation methods that dropped everything you needed in the Start Menu.
After explaining to him the usage of DMG files, PKG files, Installer.app, and drag-and-drop installs, he felt pretty comfortable with the process.
However, I'm wondering if anyone out there knows a good beginners tutorial for how software installation on Mac OS X works. I checked the Mac 101 site, didn't see much. Searching Apple's knowledge base didn't give me any helpful "general" documents.
If anyone has useful links they can point me to so I can direct my friend (and anyone else that might ask me this type of question) to some reading material, that could prove very helpful.
Thanks!
