# Installing App Catalog

## Local

To install the App Catalog on a single device, open a **Terminal** window and run the following command:&#x20;

{% code overflow="wrap" %}
```shell
curl -sSL https://cdn.appcatalog.cloud/install_app_catalog.zsh | sudo zsh --no-rcs
```
{% endcode %}

This command will download and install the catalog app on your Mac.

## Mobile Device Management

The installation of the App Catalog requires administrative privileges. Most MDM solutions provide a way to run a script or command with root or administrative privileges. The following script can be used to install the App Catalog:

{% code overflow="wrap" %}
```shell
#!/bin/zsh --no-rcs

# Install App Catalog when not installed yet
if [[ ! -f "/usr/local/bin/catalog" ]]; then
  curl -sSL https://cdn.appcatalog.cloud/install_app_catalog.zsh | zsh
fi
```
{% endcode %}
