This software is a versatile application that can be used to install and configure a variety of programs. It simplifies the process of installation and makes it easy to manage the configuration of multiple programs.
Essentially, i-Installer is a software that can install i-Packages, which are essentially wrappers disguised as files in most applications. These packages can be updated and downloaded from remote locations, without much user intervention necessary. The i-Packages have three main functions: installation, re-configuration, and uninstallation.
Although i-Packages may be interactive, it is mostly in a limited way. i-Installer provides predefined sheets to be displayed on package windows, which allow for user input during configuration. This can be particularly useful for those installing TeX and selecting formats and languages in a GUI or installing ghostscript and being offered a choice to add TeX's type 1 fonts to an already installed ghostscript. Overall, i-Installer is a helpful tool for those looking for a networked installer on their Mac.
