macOS Agent Deployment via RMM & MDM

Nodeware Agents are designed for mass deployment via management tools, RMM & MDM, and support silent, command line installation without a reboot.

Download ZSH deployment script here

The Z Shell (ZSH) script above can be adapted for use in deployment. It includes a direct download of the installation file to ensure the latest version is used.

You must provide the Nodeware customer ID as the first argument or install will fail. It is recommended to set customerID to a parameter to allow the same deployment script to be used with multiple customers.

#!/bin/zsh

# Edit the following line to contain the numerical portion of the customer ID
customerID=""
# No other modifications are required

Ensure the customer ID is only numbers and seven digits long, otherwise installation will fail.

Privacy Preferences Policy Control (PPPC) file

Nodeware Agents require Full Disk Access for proper operation. While this can be enabled on single machines, most deployment tools support using a PPPC file to accompany the installation package. Below is a link to a configuration built to work with the macOS agent installer.

Note that when using a PPPC to toggle Full Disk Access, the change may not be visible to end users, meaning they may show the toggle next to Full Disk Access set to off in System Preferences. This is normal and does not impact operation of the agent.
