title: Cannot find Mac app in applications folder
body: <p>I installed an app I wrote using the terminal with the command.</p>
  
  <pre><code>sudo installer -store -pkg "/Users/MyName/Desktop/HelloWorld.pkg" -target /
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>It appears to have worked but I cannot find the app anywhere in the Applications folder. The terminal spits out this </p>

  <p>Also why is the terminal telling me about an application that is unrelated to the application that I am installing?</p>
  
  <p>Any suggestions? Thanks.</p>
  
  <p><strong>EDIT</strong>
  I fixed the problem by clicking on the installer package. I then opened the log and viewed all messages. I then look for the install path and proceeded to the directory pointed by the path. I deleted everything in the directory. I ran the installer again and the application is installed in the applications folder.</p>
  
  <p><strong>EDIT2</strong>
  I found this command useful. It basically tells you where the app is being installed on your machine.</p>
  
  <pre><code>sudo installer -verbose -dumplog -store -pkg "HelloWorld.pkg" -target /
  </code></pre>
