There are other ways to install Adobe apps. The whole of the Adobe suite is around 30Gb. Plus it will take forever to download and then install them. Try to keep the size of files uploaded to Jamf under 5 Gb each, there are limits. It saves problems if you are then using the names in scripts. When choosing Folder names, and the names of the Adobe installers I try to avoid spaces in the names, use _ or - to split them up to a more readable format. I put all sorts of files in there, and clear them out when done with. This way I have one copy of this script set up in my Jamf server, and I add it to each policy, but put in the correct folder name for the app to be installed.Ĭhange to/the/standard/location to wherever you choose to put your folders. Rm -Rf to/the/standard/location/"$4".tar.gzĪs you can see I use $4 parameter to provide the folder name.

Rm -Rf to/the/standard/location/"$4"/"$PKG" You can watch them disappear as they install for testing. # Then it will remove the installers, it gets rid of the pkg files one at a time, as you can put together a folder with many pkg files in it. usr/sbin/installer -pkg to/the/standard/location/"$4"/"$PKG" -tgt / -allowUntrusted # Install the pkg files found in a temp locationįor PKG in $(ls "to/the/standard/location/$4/" | grep "pkg$") # Uses $4 as File Name of Installer TarGZ You should have a tar.gz of a folder with a pkg inside of the same name. Then sudo tar -zcvf “Folder Name”.tar.gz “Folder Name” It is important that you do the cd first to be in the right place. Test everything, more than once.Ĭompressing the file. I have run this on Big Sur and it worked (six different Macs, 4 different mac year models).

Then I have a script that runs, it will find the file, and extract the archive, then it will install the pkg files and finally it cleans up after itself.

When this runs it will put the compressed file in the standard location. tar.gz archive, one at a time.Įach archive then gets added to Composer to create a package of it. Then I use terminal to compress them into a. I tend to put each one in a folder with the same name as the pkg. I then put them into a standard location. My method to install the Adobe Apps using Jamf Pro is.ĭownload the installers, I do them as individuals not as mass versions.
