  1. Catalog Agent
  2. Installing apps

Force reinstalling apps

By default, when trying to install an app using the Catalog Agent, the taks will gracefully quit when the app is already up to date.

The Catalog Agent also supports forcibly reinstalling apps. This can be leveraged in use case such as troubleshooting or replacing Mac App Store/VPP versions of the app.

To use this option, append the -f or --force argument to the install command. An example:

sudo catalog -i BUNDLE_IDENTIFIER -f

or

sudo catalog --install BUNDLE_IDENTIFIER --force

Use this option at your own risk. Reinstalling apps may have unintended consequences and needs to be tested carefully.
