Ability to silently install *.dmg files? #127

Hi Jonathan, Hope you and the family are well. Currently the Github CI doens't have the VS for Mac 2022 IDE installed on any of its instances/VMs. I was hoping to use boots temporarily until they update the images. Currently, the download links for VS for Mac 2022 link to .dmg files - like https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/thank-you-downloading-visual-studio-22-for-mac/?sku=communitymac&ch=pre&rel=17. Can boots silent install .dmgs ?

No, we just have .pkg support on Mac. If it's just a couple commands, might be easy to add to boots?

If you send a PR, I would be happy to push an update out. Thanks!

Looks like the steps are:


curl -O http://darwinports.opendarwin.org/downloads/DarwinPorts-1.2-10.4.dmg

hdiutil attach DarwinPorts-1.2-10.4.dmg

cd /Volumes/DarwinPorts-1.2/

sudo installer -pkg DarwinPorts-1.2.pkg -target "/"

hdiutil detach /Volumes/DarwinPorts-1.2/

I try it locally tomorrow to see if it works. If it does I'll send you a PR.
