Installing Power Manager
Power Manager is distributed as a set of Installer packages. A meta-package is provided to combine the packages and offer a choice of optional features.
Meta-package
The meta-package combines the Power Manager packages. The meta-package contains the required files to support Mac OS X 10.3 and a distribution script to natively support Mac OS X 10.4's improved Installer.
Core and Optional Packages
Power Manager's packages are divided between a core engine and a set of optional features.
- Power Manager AppleScript Support.pkg
- Power Manager Automator Actions.pkg
- Power Manager Daemon.pkg
- Power Manager Framework.pkg
- Power Manager Login Window.pkg
- Power Manager Menu.pkg
- Power Manager System Preference.pkg
- Power Manager UNIX Support.pkg
- Power Manager Widget.pkg
Only the core engine needs to be installed for Power Manager to perform a schedule. The core engine consists of two packages.
- Power Manager Framework.pkg
- Power Manager Daemon.pkg
We recommend you minimally install a third package; this package provides command line access to Power Manager and its scheduler.
- Power Manager UNIX Support.pkg
Installation Order
The order in which packages are installed is important. You must install the Power Management Framework first; the shared framework is required by all the other packages.
Power Manager Framework must be installed first.
With the framework installed, there is no required order for the remaining packages.
