I'm making Development tool which needs Git, Heroku, Python, Ruby.

So I need package installer to check and install git and heroku toolbelt, if those are not exist.

In my guess, I can use package installer in XCode.

But I can not find package installer in /Development/Utility.

Recently, XCode Development directory was moved in XCode package, so I checked it, but still I cannot find package maker.

1) Where is package maker? 2) Can I install heroku and git with Package Maker?

PackageMaker have been deprecated years ago.

  1. As a solution you can try to use it by downloading from the Apple downloads,
  2. but I recommend you to use command line utility: productbuild.
  3. Or you can use 3rd party application: Packages
