The CBCloud Install.pkg and ccloud_install_unattended.sh scripts are part of the macOS sensor release and are embedded in the CB Defense DMG. Both files are required for command line installations on macOS endpoints.

Note: Instructions on how to create custom packages for software distribution tools are beyond the scope of this article. Carbon Black provides generic instructions on how to install the CBCloud Install.pkg payload on the command line, with the help of the cbcloud_install_unattended.sh utility script. You can adapt these instructions to a software distribution tool.

macOS utility script

The utility script can be used in the following ways:

  • As-is (passed command line options to customize the install process).
  • Modified to hard-code the install options and simplify the installation.
  • Used as an example or guide on how to create a custom script.

A common installation method is to use the utility script as-is, push the script and the PKG payload onto the target device (both files can be bundled in a custom package), and then execute the utility script.
