EOS Utility installer for OS X since Canon only allows to update exisiting installs

README.md

What is this?

Canon only let's you download updates for already installed EOS Utility, which you need to install from a CD.

But it's pretty easy to install it without doing so, it's as simple as deleting a file as shown in many videos and guides online

This script only automates this process.

Usage

Just run ./EOSUtilityInstaller.sh path-to-eos-utility.dmg

For example: ./EOSUtilityInstaller.sh eu2.13.40x-updater.dmg

EOSUtilityInstaller.sh

#!/bin/bash

set -o pipefail

if [[ -z $1 ]]; then
	echo "Missing EOS Updater Utility dmg argument"; 
	echo "Usage: "
	echo "$0 path-to-eos-utility.dmg"
	echo "For example: "
	echo "./EOSUtilityInstaller.sh eu2.13.40x-updater.dmg"
	exit 1;
fi

echo "Mounting EOS Utility DMG file..."

DMG_MOUNTED_PATH=$(hdiutil mount -plist -nobrowse -readonly -noidme -mountrandom /tmp $1 | grep -A 1 mount-point | tail -n 1 | awk -F '[<>]' '/string/{print $3}' -)

if [ $? -eq 0 ]
then
    echo "Sucess!"
    echo "Creating temporary folder"
    TEMP_DIR=$(mktemp -dt eos)
    cp -r $DMG_MOUNTED_PATH/*.app $TEMP_DIR
    hdiutil detach $DMG_MOUNTED_PATH > /dev/null
    rm -f $TEMP_DIR/*.app/Contents/Resources/Info.datx
    echo "Deleting Info.datx file"
    echo "Opening up installer, it should work. Enjoy!"
    open $TEMP_DIR/*.app
else
	echo ""
    echo "Mounting failed, please check output for errors"
fi

set +o pipefail
