Since the Installomator.sh script has grown to over 3000 lines, its management on git has become very unwieldy. Because of that we have split the main script into multiple text files which are easier to manage. Having multiple files results in less merge conflicts.

The full script is assembled using the utils/assemble.sh tool. For convenience, there is a symbolic link in the root of the repository.

assemble.sh Usage

assemble.sh

This will put together the fragments and labels from the default location (fragments and fragments/labels) and write it to build/Installomator.sh

assemble.sh -- <label>
assemnle.sh -- <label> <VAR=value>...

This will put together the fragments and labels from the default location, create the script in build/Installomator.sh and immediately run it with the given arguments. (Note: the script will run in debug mode, unless you specifically override this with DEBUG=0.)

Adding custom labels

assemble.sh --labels path/to/labels_dir

Text files from this directory will be added in addition to the default labels directory fragments/labels. The custom labels will be inserted in the script before the default labels, so custom labels will override default labels. You can add multiple --labels arguments:

assemble.sh --labels ../my_labels/test --labels ../my_labels/production

In this case the labels from ../my_labels/test will be inserted first, then the labels from ../my_labels/production and then the labels from fragments/labels

Building for Release

assemble.sh --script

This will build the full script and place it in the root of the repo.

assemble.sh --pkg

Build the full script, disable Debug mode and build an installer pkg.

assemble.sh --notarize

Build the full script, disable Debug mode, sign it, build a signed pkg, and send it to notarization.

The Fragments

These are the fragments in the order they are assembled:

header.txt
version.txt
functions.txt
arguments.txt
all labels from locations given with the ``--labels` argument
labels/*.txt
main.txt
