Why your RDM build requires admin password to install, while original doesn't? #9

Easy question

avibrazil commented 7 years ago

It's not happening to me. I can't reproduce it.

avibrazil commented 7 years ago

Please try to checkout the code from Github and do a "make pkg" to compile and generate the package yourself in your own machine. Remove the old package and install your new one.

Let me know if it asks for a password

This is package builded by myself:

After building i've found application in pkgroot/Applications. It doesn't require password.

I can confirm the same thing happens here.

avibrazil commented 6 years ago

Any package installation requires your machine password to get installed.

Can you point me to a Mac package that installs without a password ?

cbetta commented 6 years ago

I think the question was that it did not use to require the password. I can't say if every PKG requires a password.

If the binary is going to be written to a "global" directory such as /usr/local/bin then it's normal to ask for root password
