Is it possible to install the dmg images without root access from the command line? I know how to access the contents: $ hdiutil attach python-2.7.3-macosx10.6.dmg $ ls /Volumes/Python\ 2.7.3/ Build.txt License.txt Python.mpkg ReadMe.txt But I am not currently sure what to do with it. The Python.mpkg directory seems to contain the sources. I have access to Vincent's computer, as suggested by Ralf and it is already setup, so I am using it. But I am not able (so far) to replicate the setup there so that I can create the binaries on any other Mac computer, which makes me feel really uneasy. By replicating the setup, at least once (preferably automated) would make me understand things much better. If possible, I would prefer to just use a command line (ssh) to do all that. (So that's maybe building from source is the only option.)
