+2Hi Guys, I guess the question has been posted several times but I can't find what I'm looking for.
I need to create packages with composer for one of my non-jamf customer.
Exemple : installing Google Chrome with a custom home page, but the users home directory on my client's computers match the first name of each users.
Composer is create the package with my user folder. Is there a way to use the ~ variable instead of the folder name ?
Sorry for the english, I'm french !
Thanks...
Fred
+24Composer won't be able to use something like ~ to direct files in a payload at the current user's home folder. What I would recommend instead is dropping some or all of the files in your payload into a custom location in /private/tmp/ first, and then use a postinstall script to locate the current user's home directory and subsequent folders, like ~/Library/ for example, and finally move the files into place. That's really the only option I can think of when building standalone packages like that. Its actually the way most commercial installers typically work when they need to place files in specific user locations.

This can then be installed via another PKG or whatever they have in place.
