Open Unidentified .pkg file

Question

So I wanted to download the git command line and when opening the .pkg I got an Un ID'd Developer message.

I do not have admin rights and am locked out of the gatekeeper panel.

I then tried the xattr -d com.apple.quarantine method to no avail.

Any tips?

Thanks!

Create a new folder, put the PKG you want to install into this new folder, CD to that directory then run these commands:

xar -x -f Install.pkg && rm Install.pkg && xar -cf Install.pkg * && open Install.pkg

(replace Install.pkg with the file name of the PKG file you want to install.)

These commands decompress the PKG, delete the original PKG, then create a new PKG, which should install without complaining about unidentified developers.
