All files required to create a .mpkg for macOS lie under macos/. The package is created on macOS with Packages tool, its template is saved under macos/pkgproj/ckb-next.pkgproj. Appdmg is used to create a virtual disk, its template is saved under macos/pkgproj/appdmg.json.

NOTE: as a side effect ckb-next will be installed at your computer. This is due to the fact that a package is currently generated based off of files in the system paths. This might change in the future.

Prerequisites

brew install npm
brew cask install packages
npm install -g appdmg
