Mac Imaging Noob – Can’t get Instadmg to work.

[rohern]

First, I’m sure you whizzes are yawning at me already 🙂 , but..
I’m a pc whiz who has recently taken over Mac Imaging for our company.
So here goes:

I’ve read all about and installed Instadmg.
I’m doing this on a Mac Intel Mini.
I inserted OS installer disk and took an image of it with NetRestore. Placed this in BaseOS folder
Downloaded Apple updated .dmg and dropped it in apple updates folder.

Opened terminal and switched to Sudo root.
Dragged Instadmg.bash to terminal and hit enter.
Received many many error messages, no logs, and no output file.

I’ll post a smattering of the error messages below. One question first.
Do I need to edit the Instadmg.bash script before running it? The majority of items in this forum seem geared to folks that already have a handle on scripting and using the terminal. Unfortunately, I’m not one of those guys yet.

I appreciate any advice you guys might have and thanks in advance for your time.

The script is currently written that it requires you to be in the base InstaDMG folder before executing.

So just type:

cd /InstaDMG_Resources/Instadmg
then
./instadmg.bash

I think that’ll get you going

Thanks akinspe
That’s just what I needed!
I look forward to testing and implementing this
