Munki is an open-source software management tool for macOS. It allows system administrators to easily manage and deploy software packages to multiple macOS devices.
In this tutorial, we will guide you through the steps to install Munki on FreeBSD Latest.
Before we begin, you will need:
Since Munki is written in Python, we need to install Python version 2.7 on FreeBSD Latest. To do that, run the following command:
pkg install python2
You will be prompted to install dependencies. Type y and hit Enter to continue.
Now that we have Python 2.7 installed, we can install Munki using the pip package manager. Run the following command to install pip:
pkg install py27-pip
Once pip is installed, we can use it to install Munki:
pip install munki
This will download and install Munki and all of its dependencies.
Next, we need to configure Munki to point to our software repository. Create a new configuration file at /usr/local/munki/munkiimport.cfg using your text editor of choice.
sudo <text editor> /usr/local/munki/munkiimport.cfg
Add the following lines to the file:
[repo_sync]
# This is the location of the software repository
# Replace <YOUR_REPO_URL> with the URL of your repository
repo_url = <YOUR_REPO_URL>
Save and exit the file.
To test if Munki is working correctly, run the following command:
sudo /usr/local/munki/managedsoftwareupdate
This command should display the Munki updater window, and you should see a list of available software packages.
Congratulations, you have successfully installed and configured Munki on FreeBSD Latest.
In this tutorial, we have shown you how to install Munki on FreeBSD Latest. With Munki, managing software deployments and updates for macOS devices is now a breeze.
