This document shows how to create a metapackage containing two packages: one to install the Font Book application in the /Applications folder, another one to install fonts in the /Library/Fonts folder. This will let you discover the Settings, Files and Components panes.

Note: The Font Book application is available on Mac OS X 10.3 and later. If you are running an older version of Mac OS X, use the TextEdit application instead.

1	Open the Iceberg application.
2	Choose File > New Project… .
3	Select the Core Templates Metapackage project template and click Next.
4	Type MyMetapackage in the Project name text field and click Finish.

Managing complex hierarchies of packages and metapackages does not require multiple projects, one is enough.

Start by creating the first package which will be a required component of the installation and will install the Font Book application:

1	Choose View > Components.
2	Choose Project > New Component… .
3	Type Font Book in the Component name text field.
3	Choose Required from the Attribute pop-up menu and click Add.
4	Select the new package in the Packages & Metapackages list.
5	Choose View > Files.
6	Click on the disclosure triangle of the / folder to reveal its content.
7	Select the Applications line.
8	Choose Archive > Add Files… .
9	Go the Applications folder.
10	Select the Font Book application and click Add.
11	Choose the reference style from the Reference Style pop-up menu. Note: The default reference style can be changed in the Preferences dialog.
12	Click Add.

Then, create the second package which will be installed by default but can be unselected with the Custom Install mode:

1	Choose View > Project.
2	Choose View > Files.
3	Choose Project > New Component… .
4	Type Additional Fonts in the Component name text field.
5	Choose Selected from the Attribute pop-up menu and click Add.
6	Select the new package in the Packages & Metapackages list.
7	Choose View > Files.
8	Click on the disclosure triangle of the / folder to reveal its content.
9	Select the Library line.
10	Choose Archive > New Folder.
11	Type Fonts in the text field.
12	Choose Archive > Add Files… .
13	Go to the /Library/Fonts folder.
14	Select one or more fonts and click Add.
15	Choose the reference style from the Reference Style pop-up menu. Note: The default reference style can be changed in the Preferences dialog.
16	Click Add.

Installing items in the /Applications and /Library/Fonts folders requires administrative privileges. You are going to tweak the packages settings so that the user needs to authenticate when he/she installs the metapackage.

1	Select the Font Book package in the Packages & Metapackages list.
2	Choose View > Settings.
3	Choose Root Authorization from the Authorization pop-up menu.
4	Select the Additional Fonts package in the Packages & Metapackages list.
5	Choose View > Settings.
6	Choose Root Authorization from the Authorization pop-up menu.

You are now going to add a Welcome message which will be displayed by Installer when you launch the installation procedure of the metapackage.

1	Choose View > Project.
2	Choose View > Components.
3	With a text editor, create a text document and write a welcome message. Save this document in the metapackage project folder. Note: The text document format can be text, RTF, RTFd or HTML.
4	Click the Path radio button of the Welcome section.
5	Choose Choose… from the Action pop-up menu of the Welcome section.
6	Go to the metapackage project.
7	Select the text document and click Choose.

1	Choose File > Save.
2	Choose Project > Build.

The MyMetapackage.mpkg will be created the build folder at the same level that the project document. Two packages named Font Book.pkg and Additional Fonts.pkg are created at the same level.
