MacOS – Can’t find installed software

dmginstallmacospkg

Forgive me if this is a dumb question, but I've tried all sorts of things, and need help.

I needed to use some software from the Internet, so I got some installers for them. All of them are .dmg and have .pkg installers. I went through the installers and installed them, but after installing them I can't find them anywhere. Could someone please help me find them?

Logs tell me they were installed:

Jun 27 15:10:55 myMacBookAir installd[15594]: Installed "u-he TyrellN6" ()
Jun 27 15:24:43 myMacBookAir installd[15594]: Installed "Crystal" ()
Jun 28 11:07:11 myMacBookAir installd[15594]: Installed "Serum" (1.017)

When I use Spotlight, all I find are the .dmg files. I running OS X El Capitan.

I did look in the Applications folder, they were not there.

Best Answer

Try hitting Command+L (which should open the installation log details) while you're running the installer pkg and you should see the installing target path in those logs.
