Installing apps

Installing a single app using the Catalog Agent is very straight forward and requires two thing:

• A valid app Bundle Identifier (Get an app Bundle Identifier)

• Administrative privileges (using MDM as root or sudo)

To install an app with a user notification on completion:

sudo catalog -i BUNDLE_IDENTIFIER

You can also use:

sudo catalog --install BUNDLE_IDENTIFIER

For example, to install Google Chrome:

sudo catalog -i com.google.Chrome

or

sudo catalog --install com.google.Chrome

Catalog Agent notifications must be granted by the user or MDM: Granting User Notifications

To silently install an app, use the silent option in the command:

sudo catalog -i BUNDLE_IDENTIFIER -s

or

sudo catalog --install BUNDLE_IDENTIFIER --silent
