OSX package does not modify path or tell the user where files installed to
See original GitHub issueAfter installing the package linked from the website on OS X, dotnet
is not on my PATH and there is no obvious location where it is installed. The CLI installer documentation says the PATH should be modified by the package.
Steps to reproduce
Install the PKG on Mac OS X.
Expected behavior
dotnet
CLI tool should be added to the PATH, or the user should be informed about where the tool has been installed to so they can modify the PATH manually.
Actual behavior
The PATH has not been changed and there is no help message to suggest where to look.
Environment data
Package version: dotnet-osx-x64.1.0.0.001598.pkg OS X version: Yosemite 10.10.5

I solved the issue by adding to PATH the following line: PATH=/usr/local/share/dotnet/:$PATH
Package: dotnet-dev-osx-x64.1.0.1.pkg Confirmed, Terminal needed restart after installation for it to find the path.
