# if this doesn't work for you, know that the "Snap Camera 1.0.0.pkg" installer | |
# is just a tape archive, so you can `tar -xf Snap\ Camera 1.0.0.pkg` and then | |
# start analyzing the files, which is how I figured it out. To analyze them, | |
# I used `file whatever_file` to discover that most of them are just gzipped, | |
# and then I would do `mv whatever_file whatever_file.gz` so that I could | |
# `gunzip whatever_file.gz`, at which point I could open it in my editor. | |
# The relevant one for me was `Scripts`, which, after gunzipping, | |
# turned out to be a shell script that contained the install locations. |
