Red Giant also offers scripted installers for each software suite, if that's your thing. Red Giant Volume Resources

I made a package with Composer to drop their unzipped folder into /private/tmp/, then just a basic script that calls the automated install.sh script included in Red Giant's downloadable. Create a Policy to bundle them together.

Maybe not as efficient but it made me feel better to natively install on the system than dropping a snapshot on top. Also, it automatically skips their Red Giant Universe updater application which is nice.

We have a license server for Red Giant. Another package just drops their licensing file into /Users/Shared/Red Giant/. Added that to my policy, also. Don't know how licensing would work if node locked, sorry!

My package just has all their installers included.

#!/bin/sh

@ChickenDenders Funny how we came to a similar solution.

I've integrated generating the license server key into the script, and have the installers kicked-off from an array of values, but same idea:

#!/bin/bash

# list of Red Giant installers to be used
RGapps=("KSuite_Mac_Scripted_11.1.8"
        "MBSuite_Mac_Scripted_13.0.2"
        "ESuite_Mac_Scripted_11.1.10"
        "SSuite_Mac_Scripted_13.1.2"
        "TCSuite_Mac_Scripted_13.1.1"
        "Universe_Mac_Scripted")

for ITEM in ${!RGapps[*]}
do
  echo "Starting ${RGapps[ITEM]} installer"
  "/tmp/${RGapps[ITEM]}/install.sh"
  echo "${RGapps[ITEM]} complete"
  echo ""
  rm -rf "/tmp/${RGapps[ITEM]}"
done

# check for RG license file
RGLicense="/Users/Shared/Red Giant/licenses/redgiant-client.primary.lic"

if [ ! -e "$RGLicense" ]; then
    echo "No existing license file; installing license"
    mkdir -p "/Users/Shared/Red Giant/licenses/"
    echo "HOST hostname ANY 5053" > "$RGLicense"
    chown -R root:admin "/Users/Shared/Red Giant/licenses"
    chmod -R 755 "/Users/Shared/Red Giant/licenses"
else
    echo "Found existing Red Giant license."
fi

exit 0

This is great, thank you!

I do believe I figured out a good snapshot solution, but doing it this way does feel much better!

Thanks!
