SAV 9.0.8 Mac - bootstrapper change

AaronMelgares

The release notes for SAV 9.0.8 for Mac contain this change:

  • (94050) The bootstrapper can now be scripted or run from the command line.

Is there any documentation for this or description of what the bootstrapper can do?

    Hi,

    This KBA is intended to describe the command-line option for the SEC-managed or standalone product.

    http://www.sophos.com/en-us/support/knowledgebase/14179.aspx

    Unfortunately, it doesn't actually describe the standalone product (we will get it fixed asap). But its pretty simple.

    If you are running version 9.0.x then you need a command line like this:

    sudo "./Sophos Installer.app/Contents/MacOS/InstallationDeployer" --install

    If you are running version 9.1.x then you need a slightly different command line:

    sudo "./Sophos Installer.app/Contents/MacOS/tools/InstallationDeployer" --install

    Note the "tools" subdirectory in 9.1. This subdirectory only exists in version 9.1 so you could make your script that checks for "tools" and runs it that way if necessary. You'll need those quotes because of the space in "Sophos Installer.app".

    Both examples assume you are already in the same directory as the installer. You can obviously subsitute the full path to the installer app as needed. Many times users will remotely copy the app to "/Users/Shared" then launch it from there.

    If you are interested in using the scriptable installer for Sophos Cloud, you should see this KBA:

    Hope this helps!
