Installing most OSX apps is just a matter of dropping it in /Applications, either GUI-wise or with cp -r. However, many packages are distributed in "mpkg" format, and those have to be installed with an installer. If you don't want to go to the trouble of firing up VNC to install an mpkg, you can use the "installer" command. This will install an application from a .mpkg it to /Applications system-wide. To install a program for just one user, replace "-target /" with "-target username".

This is the solution to the common mistake made by sudo newbies, since
sudo echo "foo bar" >> /path/to/some/file
does NOT add to the file as root.
Alternatively,
sudo echo "foo bar" > /path/to/some/file
should be replaced by
echo "foo bar" | sudo tee /path/to/some/file
And you can add a >/dev/null in the end if you're not interested in the tee stdout :
echo "foo bar" | sudo tee -a /path/to/some/file >/dev/null
