Command line install for ZENworks Asset Management 7 client on Macintosh OS X
Resolution
2. The OS X system will automatically mount the iso image for browsing if you are using the ZAM 7.0 CD ISO. However, if you have downloaded the Macintosh Client fileset go to Step 5.
3. Browse the image to the UNIX/Install/OSX directory if you have the 7.0 CD ISO, otherwise, if you have downloaded the 7.0 SP1 Standalone fileset, go to step 5.
Note: To the Mac OS X operating system, a directory with a .pkg
extension
is a package and is not "browsable" like a normal directory.
Since the Mac OS X operating system mounts the ISO image"read-only"
(like most operating systems would), one will need to copy the"package"
to another location and change its permissions to modify it.
4. Copy the UNIX/Install/OSX/zamclient_install.pkg "package" to the desktop.
5. Right-click the zamclient_install.pkg and select "File Info". On an OS X 10.4.8 machine the option will be "Get Info".
6. Under the Names & Extension section for the package information, remove the '.pkg' extension from the directory name. This is temporary and will be changed back in a later step.
The OS X client should always be installed to the boot volume, which is probably "/".
-s CollServerName
(where "CollServerName" is the collection server you want the OS
X client
to connect to, and "/full/path).
10. Change the name of the directory back to zamclient_install.pkg (see 5-6)
11. Open a terminal window. You must be logged in as root or an administrator.
The "-target" argument specifies which volume to install
to.
The OS X client should always be installed to the boot volume,
which is probably "/".
To check what volumes are available, you can run:
installer -volinfo -pkg /full/path/to/zamclient_install.pkg
installer -pkg /full_path_to/zamclient_install.pkg -target"/”
using a single "'" around the target path
installer -pkg /full_path_to/zamclient_install.pkg -target'/'
13. This will
install zamclient just as if you had run the GUI installer.
This will also work over a remote connection.
