Problem: How can I install Tecplot 360/Focus on a Mac from the command line?
Solution: Download the macix64.105.tar installer archive and then perform the following steps:
Save the .tar file to a temporary directory (e.g., /tmp)
Unpack the archive:
cd /tmp
tar xf macix64.105.tar
Run the setup script:
./setuptec
Type “accept” to accept the license agreement.
Choose an installation path (e.g., /Applications/Tecplot360)
To run Tecplot, click on the .app file in /Applications/Tecplot360 (or /Applications/TecplotFocus) or on the command line by typing:
/Applications/TecplotFocus/bin/tec360
or
/Applications/TecplotFocus/bin/tecfocus
