copied!<p>To do this manually:</p> <p><strong>Method 1:</strong></p> <ul> <li>Make a folder with the files your DMG will contain.</li> </ul> <p><a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/sOBin.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/sOBin.png" alt="enter image description here"></a></p> <ul> <li>Open Disk Utility (It's in <code>/Applications/Utilities/</code>)</li> </ul> <p><a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/Px0Zh.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/Px0Zh.png" alt="enter image description here"></a></p> <ul> <li>Go to File > New > New Image from Folder (<code>Cmd + Shift + N</code>)</li> </ul> <p><a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/T2owv.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/T2owv.png" alt="enter image description here"></a></p> <ul> <li>Choose the folder containing you files</li> <li>Make sure "Compressed" is checked, then set where you want to save the created DMG</li> </ul> <p><a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/cgTGZ.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/cgTGZ.png" alt="enter image description here"></a></p> <p><a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/Oc9m1.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/Oc9m1.png" alt="enter image description here"></a></p> <p><a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/u58MR.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/u58MR.png" alt="enter image description here"></a></p> <p><strong>Method 2:</strong></p> <p>To do things like setting a background image can be a bit convoluted (You basically add the background image to the DMG, set the windows properties to use that image, using the command line you move the background image from <code>background.png</code> to <code>.background.png</code> to make it hidden)</p> <p>I would recommend <a href="http://www.nscoding.co.uk/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">iDMG</a>, which makes things a bit less tedious. </p> <p>You can also script the creation of DMGs using the command <code>hdiutil</code>. Something along the lines of</p> <pre><code>hdiutil create -srcfolder mydirtodmg mydmg.dmg </code></pre> <p><a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/8pYQb.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/8pYQb.png" alt="enter image description here"></a></p> <p>As for the custom license agreement, you should look into the tool included with the Developer Tools "PackageMaker" - it's pretty self-explanatory. It's in <code>/Developers/Application/Utilities/</code></p>
