mas: Install or update an application.
$ mas install ${product_identifier}
try on your machine

The command "mas install ${product_identifier}" is used to install an application from the Mac App Store (MAS) using the product identifier.

Here's a breakdown:

  • "mas" refers to the command-line interface (CLI) for the Mac App Store.
  • "install" is the command that tells the CLI to install an application.
  • "${product_identifier}" is a placeholder that should be replaced with the actual product identifier of the application you want to install.

The product identifier is a unique identifier assigned to each application in the Mac App Store. It is used to identify and locate the specific application you want to install. To use this command, you need to know the product identifier of the application you want to install, and you should replace "${product_identifier}" with that specific identifier.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
