1 year ago @davidteren Thanks for the package URLs list! It must have taken ages for you to get them. This made installing sound libraries on old versions of garageband or logic pro x possible.
Below is a bash script I created that installs all sound libraries, provided that:
- You have around 60GB of free disk space
- You are willing to wait for 1 - 2 hours for the packages to be downloaded, installed, and then deleted
- You have wget installed. If not, you could brew install wget
- You switch to root with sudo su first.
AND, yes, you may copy and paste these in the terminal to execute it.
cd ~/Downloads; mkdir -p lpx_links/app ; cd lpx_links/app ; curl -#L https://goo.gl/nUrpPi | tar -xzv --strip-components 1 ; ./lpx_links.rb
wget -c -i ~/Desktop/lpx_download_links/all_download_links.txt -d ~/Downloads$
for pkg in $HOME/Downloads/lpx_links/app/*.pkg; do
echo Installing $pkg file...
installer -pkg $pkg -target /
done
rm -r ~/Desktop/lpx_download_links ~/Downloads/lpx_links
@davidteren and @davidt-imqs Thanks so much for creating this script.
I've gone through huge issues with the ridiculous library manager in Logic Pro, resulting in downloading the library files (in full) at least 5 or 6 times (over my relatively slow 4G broadband connection). It's been a huge time-waster.
Being able to download all the PKGs, and store them, and install them all in one hit (I used installpgk for that), has been a huge help.
So again, thank you for making this script available. It's much appreciated, all these years later.
