App Store apps

[mence]

Is there a way to install App Store apps from the command line?

Ideas:

• AppleScript trigger for App Store?

App Store apps inclue Growl, HardwareGrowler

AFAIK, no. More info in this thread http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/72145/can-i-install-or-update-mac-app-store-apps-through-a-command-line-using-terminal

@seesolve Thanks, that's helpful. I had a look at your link and found this pointing towards sprout-wrap, which is actually something we use at my work. I did manage to find puppet-appstore which seems pretty interesting - it looks like a wrapper around the Mac App Store SQLite database. I think it works if you pass it the direct links from the App Store. No idea if this would be repeatable.

Ideally I'd love caskroom to script App Store installs instead of purely sideloading things. 😕
