Easy Kext Installer For Mac

Kernel extensions can be installed on your Mac in order to extend the system’s capabilities, especially if you are running OS X on a Hackintosh.

However, if you install too many kexts without repairing permissions and cleaning the temporary files, your computer might start to behave strangely.

Easy Kext Installer is a minimalist Mac OS X utility that allows you to install one or several kext files with a single drag and drop action, and makes sure to perform all the necessary system maintenance tasks afterwards.

To use the Easy Kext Installer application, you must drag and drop the kext files you want to install either on the app’s Dock icon or on top of its main window. The utility does not come with any customization options or additional functions.

Easy Kext Installer identifies the kernel extensions that are to be installed, backs up you the existing kext files just in case, sets the necessary permissions, and then installs the extension into your system.

What’s more, Easy Kext Installer also repairs the permissions for the newly installed kexts, cleans up the temporary files, invalidates the cache, rebuilds the kext cache, updates the system cache, and completes the process by syncing the disk cache.

You get to monitor the process by following the activity log displayed in the Easy Kext Installer main window. The same area provides details about how long it took to perform all these tasks.

Easy Kext Installer enables you to quickly install any kext file that you like but also deals with 2 very important maintenance tasks: backups up you kext files before the installation and makes sure to repair permissions and rebuild the cache after the deployment.
