kinstall

A lightweight alternative to Kext Utility for macOS.

Since kinstall was made in bash it won't take more than a few bytes on your macOS install, but it will do absolutely the same as Kext Utility or Kext Wizard!

Installing

To install kinstall, use the following code:

cd /usr/bin && sudo curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ArtikusHG/kinstall/master/kinstall --output kinstall

Usage

Kinstall has only two simple options:

• Install kext

• Rebuild kext cache

To install a kext, simply run kinstall like that:

kinstall /path/to/kext/file

That will install a kext file to /System/Library/Extensions, fix its permissions and rebuild the kext cache.

To only rebuild kext cache, run kinstall like that:

kinstall rebuild
