Why use the App Installer Worklet?
This Worklet is designed to easily check for and then install a specific app on a target MacOS device. By checking for and installing apps with this Worklet, you can make sure all users have the required software for their job roles. This helps to streamline processes, maintain a unified environment, and simplify troubleshooting.
Install any application on a Mac with this Worklet script
This BASH evaluation script checks to see if an application is installed on the target device and if it isn't, it sends an error code for remediation. Please note this script is optional and to be used in the case where you need the app to be reinstalled if it's uninstalled.
To find the full name of the application, find an installed version in your Applications folder, right-click on i, and select "Get Info". Under the "Name & Extension:" section you'll see the full name of the application and you can copy it to paste into the script.
The BASH remediation script will then install the application on the target device after it has been downloaded from the Automox server.
Note that this Worklet will work with both .pkg installers and apps provided in dmg images. If the installer is a .pkg in a dmg, then copy it out of the dmg and upload it to Automox.
To find the full name of the application, find an installed version in your Applications folder, right-click on i, and select "Get Info". Under the "Name & Extension:" section you'll see the full name of the application and you can copy it to paste into the script.
