IBM Endpoint Manager, Version 9.2

OSX Installation Instructions

The distribution includes one DMG (mountable Disk Image file) that contains utilities and a separate PKG download for the install or upgrade package.

  1. Download the corresponding BigFix client package file to the Mac computer.
  2. Copy the PKG file to any directory and copy the masthead file for your deployment into the same directory. Ensure the masthead file is named actionsite.afxm.
  3. You might optionally include a pre-defined settings file (clientsettings.cfg) in the install directory to create custom settings for the Mac client at installation time.
  4. Launch the PKG installer by double-clicking the PKG file (such as BESAgent-9.2.xxx.x-BigFix_MacOSXxx.x.pkg) and run through the installer. The agent starts up after the installation completes as long as the masthead file is included in the install directory.
