I was unable to install MacTeX from the DVD. I opened MacTeX Install Part 1, and copiedthe lines into the terminal as directed. Here is the output from the terminal:

Installation failed.

Rerunning the installer will try to restart the installation.

Or you can restart by running the installer with:

  install-tl --profile installation.profile [EXTRA-ARGS]

./install-tl: Could not write to install-tl.log, so flushing messages to stderr.
