Dec 08, 2016 In this video I show you how to reinstall MAC OS X on your apple computer. This method should work on all apple computers and with all recent versions of MAC OS. For this guide I. Sep 21, 2007 How to Install Software from DMG Files on a Mac 21 September, 2007 by Tom Harrison in mac os x A.DMG file is a container file commonly used to distribute applications for Mac OS X. Installing software from one of these requires you to mount the image and move its contents to your computer's 'Applications' directory.
Lots of good points in this thread. I've re-thought how this should work.
My problem is that my downloads folder gets cluttered with dmg files. I can't remember which ones I've already installed. Some of them I have opened and installed, but I've forgotten to move them out of my downloads folder. Some of them I downloaded but haven't opened yet.
My new version of the script moves the dmg file when it is mounted. To use it, save this script to '/Library/Scripts/Folder Action Scripts/' and attach this folder action script to the /Volumes directory. Ideally, my script would trigger when you eject the disk image, but by then it's too late; the disk image is gone, and there's nothing left for AppleScript to process. I figure triggering on mount was pretty good, since I really wanted to know what dmg files I had opened or not.
Most of you didn't want to delete the dmg file. That's a good idea. My script now moves it to a dmg_archive folder. Feel free to change this to suit your needs.

System Requirements for Installing the JDK on macOS
The following are the system requirements for installing the JDK on macOS:
Any Intel-based computer running macOS.
Administrator privileges.
You cannot install Java for a single user. Installing the JDK on macOS is performed on a systemwide basis for all users. Administrator privileges are required to install the JDK on macOS.
Determining the Default JDK Version on macOS
When starting a Java application through the command line, the system uses the default JDK.

You can determine which version of the JDK is the default by entering java -version
in a Terminal window. If the installed version is 13 Interim 0, Update 0, and Patch 0, then you see a string that includes the text 13
. For example:
To run a different version of Java, either specify the full path, or use the java_home
tool. For example:
$ /usr/libexec/java_home -v 13 --exec javac -version

Installing the JDK on macOS
- Download the JDK
.dmg
file,jdk-13.
interim.update.patch_osx-x64_bin.dmg
.Before the file can be downloaded, you must accept the license agreement.
- From either the browser Downloads window or from the file browser, double-click the
.dmg
file to start it.A Finder window appears that contains an icon of an open box and the name of the.pkg
file. - Double-click the
JDK 13.pkg

- Enter the Administrator user name and password and click Install Software.The software is installed and a confirmation window is displayed.

You must have Administrator privileges.Note:
Do not attempt to uninstall Java by removing the Java tools from /usr/bin
. This directory is part of the system software and any changes will be reset by Apple the next time that you perform an update of the OS.
- Go to
/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines
. - Remove the directory whose name matches the following format by executing the
rm
command as a root user or by using thesudo
tool:/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk-13.interim.update.patch.jdk
For example, to uninstall 13 Interim 0 Update 0 Patch 0:
$ rm -rf jdk-13.jdk
Installation FAQ on macOS Platform
This topic provides answers for the following frequently asked questions about installing JDK on macOS computers.
1. How do I find out which version of Java is the system default?

When you run a Java application from the command line, it uses the default JDK. If you do not develop Java applications, then you do not need to worry about this. See Determining the Default JDK Version on macOS.
2. How do I uninstall Java?
See Uninstalling the JDK on macOS.
3. After installing Java for macOS 2012-006, can I continue to use Apple's Java 6 alongside the macOS JDK for Java 13?
If you want to continue to develop with Java 6 using command-line, then you can modify the startup script for your favorite command environment. For bash, use this:
$ export JAVA_HOME=`/usr/libexec/java_home -v 13`
Some applications use /usr/bin/java
to call Java. After installing Java for macOS 2012-006, /usr/bin/java
will find the newest JDK installed, and will use that for all of the Java-related command-line tools in /usr/bin
. You may need to modify those applications to find Java 6, or contact the developer for a newer version of the application.
4. What happened to the Java Preferences app in Application Utilities?
The Java Preferences app was part of the Apple Java installation and is not used by Oracle Java. Therefore, macOS releases from Apple that do not include Apple Java will not include Java Preferences.
