Wrapp

Wrap an App... in a disk image (DMG).

Prologue

Say you wanna put your nice macOS application in a handy disk image (DMG) for distribution. Why not use wrapp for this? It is a short wrapper around hdiutil.

Requirements

This runs only on macOS.

Installation

Install it yourself as:

$ sudo gem install wrapp -n /usr/local/bin

(Note: Rbenv/RVM users probably want to install without sudo.)

Usage

$ wrapp --help
Usage: wrapp [options] APP_PATH
    -f, --filesystem FILESYSTEM      Causes a filesystem of the specified type to be written to the image.
    -n, --volume-name NAME           Volume name of the newly created filesystem.

Examples...

wrapp /Applications/Chunky\ Bacon.app

The commands create a DMG like chunky_bacon_1.2.3.dmg that contains the given App. (the filename automatically includes the name and version).

Thats it.

(NOTE: On authorization errors try prefixing the command with sudo!)
