macOS Agent installation

The Nodeware macOS Agent is available for download in the Nodeware dashboard.

1. Click Customers (left side panel) and the Gear icon for the customer.

2. Select Agent Downloads and choose macOS.

It is important to install the Agent with an account that has admin privileges. Other access levels may produce errors during installation or prevent full functionality.

If the installer package is launched directly, it will launch a visual installer with several steps.

Other Deployment Methods

The macOS Agent can also be installed via command line, which is useful for deployment with MDM or RMM tools. Enter the following command line:

sudo installer -pkg 'Nodeware Agent for macOS.XXXXXX.pkg' -target /

The "XXXXXX" string will be a customer ID and is specific to the customer’s account. The ID can be changed to any valid customer ID, which can be found in both the dashboard (in the customer’s URL) and API, prefixed by "cus_." Only the numeric portion is used in the filename.
