When installing via Self Service, the latest version of the app will be installed.When a custom app's Enforcement option is set to Install on demand from Self Service, the app will not be installed until the user installs the application from Self Service.

This may be useful if users need the ability to reinstall the software. When a custom app's enforcement option is set to Install and continuously enforce or Install once per device, you can still opt to show this item in Self Service.There are important considerations that should be understood when leveraging custom apps with Self Service. A post-install script can do things such as configuring the custom app that was just installed. Add a pre-install script to perform an action such as removing another app that is being replaced. #!/bin/bashĪdding a pre- or post-install script allows you to further customize the install process for custom apps. Should the app be in a specific location? Have a particular checksum? Be on a certain version? All of these checks can be done in an audit script.Įxample: The audit script below would check for the presence of an app if it is not present, the script would prompt Kandji to reinstall it. Using an audit script gives you control over what qualifies as a Pass. After the item is executed, the Install button will be relabeled Reinstall. Install on demand from Self Service: The item will only be offered as an optional install from Self Service.Should the audit script exit anything other than 0, Kandji will reinstall the application automatically. Audit and enforce: Kandji will run the audit script and ensure that the script passes (exits 0) at each check-in (including before the first install).For example, a software patch shouldn't be run continuously. If the app is removed from the Mac, it will not be reinstalled automatically. Install once per device: Kandji will install the custom app once.Kandji's maximum file upload size is 5 GB.ĭepending on the app you wish to deploy, you can specify whether Kandji should install it once or continually monitor and ensure that it is installed.

If your DMG contains a PKG, you should first extract the PKG and upload that to Kandji instead.

DMG: When using a DMG file, Kandji attempts to extract its contents to the /Applications folder. ZIP: When using a ZIP file, Kandji allows you to specify where the contents of that file should be decompressed to. PKG: Kandji also supports compressed PKG and MPKG files. Kandji supports several different installer types: Add Custom App library items to ensure that all required applications are ready for your users. Kandji allows you to upload and deploy custom apps to your enrolled Mac devices.
