You can manually deploy or upgrade the Agent on Mac devices as needed.
This section provides information for manually deploying the KACE Agent on Mac OS X devices. Additional options are described in Use shell scripts to deploy the KACE Agent.

Use the KACE_HOST and KACE_TOKEN environment variables to specify the appliance host name and agent token before you run the installation file, or: |
◦ |
Manually change the installation file name using the following syntax: <agent_installation_filename>_<appliance_hostname>+<agent_token>.<extension> |

The installer creates the following directories on your device:
• |
/Library/Application Support/Quest/KACE/bin where the Agent executable files are installed. |
• |
/Library/Application Support/Quest/KACE/data/ where the Agent configuration, logs, and other data is stored. |

sudo sh -c 'KACE_SERVER=kace_sma_name installer -pkg /Volumes/Quest_KACE/AMPAgent.pkg -target /'
hdiutil detach '/Volumes/Quest_KACE'
You can run shell scripts to deploy the Agent to Mac devices.
When using shell scripts to deploy the Agent, you can use the following command line options:
NOTE: The export call must proceed the install call. For example: sudo export KACE_SERVER=kace_sma_name installer -pkg '/Volumes/Dell KACE/AMPAgent.pkg' -target / |
The system looks for the value of host in these locations in the following order shown:
2. |
KACE_SERVER (environment variable) |
3. |

If you want to register the agent with the appliance:
• |
Use the KACE_HOST and KACE_TOKEN environment variables to specify the appliance host name and agent token before you run the installation file, or: |
• |
Manually change the installation file name using the following syntax: <agent_installation_filename>_<appliance_hostname>+<agent_token>.<extension> |
You can obtain the agent token string from the Agent Token Detail page. For more details, see Registering KACE Agent with the appliance
