I would like to ssh into my desktop and upgrade with the Sonoma installer in the /Applications folder. Ideally this would be unattended.

What is the command?

Thanks. But what I need is to run the complete installer.

Backgound:
- This is on my CMPro running under OCLP.
- I have a problem with the login screen crashing if the Root Patch has not yet been installed.
- I deal with this by using ssh and running OCLP from the command line.
- On the CMPro, software updates (OTA) do not work, I have run the full installer.
- I can run the installer from another boot volume since I have Mojave, Catalinam Monterey, Ventura, and Sonoma installed.
- But running the install from another boot takes hours vs some 50 min. upgrading in place.

there
seems to me that OCLP does not read terminal commands until after the install.
first the outdated mac needs a code or an open source to run the software
as a patcher would.

terminal needs a base system to read.

The system is installed, updated, and running. I want to run a further update, which on the CMPro requires a full install. For example, for 14.2 to 14.2.1, I have to download and run the full 14.2.1 installer.
