macos - How can I track the changes an installer makes?


I'm trying to track the changes of an installer/patcher, is there a way to track changes the installer/patcher makes and where all its files are placed?



Answer



Standard OS X Installer packages can easily be viewed. One tool for this is Suspicious Package, a QuickLook plugin that shows files and scripts contained in the Installer package.




While installing, you can monitor file system accesses using tools like opensnoop or fs_usage (both command line utilities).
