# Installing Software Using a Third-Party Tool (Recommended)

The Laptops package can be pushed and installed using third-party software such as Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM) or Jamf software.

## Before You Begin

1. Download the laptop package and copy the authorization code.

2. To configure Full Disk Access for macOS laptops, download the Privacy Preferences Policy Control (PPPC) payload and add it to your MDM profile.

## Procedure

Configure the third-party software to run the following command from the folder containing the laptop package contents.

- Windows

  Windows packages use a self-extracting executable that can be launched using a deployment tool with command line. The package must be pushed to the machine locally before running the command line. Running the package remotely over the network is not supported.

       WindowsEndpoint32.exe /silent /install /authcode $[AuthCode]

       WindowsEndpoint64.exe /silent /install /authcode $[AuthCode]

  Where authcode is the authorization code. The authorization code is required if the package does not contain user credentials for an installation user.

  Optionally, to hide the Edge Monitor application and Commvault shortcuts from the end users, enter `/hideapps`.

       WindowsEndpoint32.exe /silent /install /authcode $[authcode] /hideapps

       WindowsEndpoint64.exe /silent /install /authcode $[authcode] /hideapps

- Macintosh Operating System (macOS)

  Silent macOS packages use the macOS pkg framework. These can be directly placed into the Jamf Casper software to run anytime. The package does not take arguments on command line, so you need to create a text file with the arguments, on the local macOS computer.

  1. On the local macOS computer, create an "install.ini" file in the global application support directory (/Library/Application Support/Commvault), with the following parameters:

     - `AUTH_CODE="######"`

     - `HIDE_APPS="YES"`

       Note

       Add the optional `HIDE_APPS` parameter to hide the Edge Monitor application and Commvault shortcuts from the end-users.

  2. Push the macOS.pkg package to the client.

          sudo installer -pkg $[path_to_pkg] -target /

- UNIX Operating System

  For silent install on a UNIX machine, perform the following steps:

  1. Extract the tar file.

         tar -xvf LinuxEndpoint.tar

     A pkg folder is created on the computer.

  2. Go to the pkg folder.

         cd pkg

  3. Run the installer.

          sudo ./silent_install -p $[default.xml] -authcode $[AuthCode]

     Where authcode is the authorization code. The authorization code is required if the package does not contain user credentials for an installation user.

- For interactive or semi-silent install on a UNIX machine, use the following:

       ./cvpkgadd –authcode $[AuthCode]

  Where authcode is the authorization code. The authorization code is required if the package does not contain user credentials for an installation user.
