Munki is a free and open-source tool that helps manage software installations on macOS. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Munki on macOS.
Visit the Munki website at munki.org/munki/">https://www.munki.org/munki/ and click the "Download" button to download the latest stable version of Munki.
Once the download is complete, open Terminal or a terminal emulator on your macOS machine.
Navigate to the folder containing the downloaded Munki package by executing the following command:
cd /path/to/folder
Replace /path/to/folder with the actual path to the folder where the Munki package is downloaded.
Install Munki by running the following command in Terminal:
sudo installer -pkg munkitools-X.X.X.X.pkg -target /
Replace X.X.X.X in the above command with the version number of the Munki package you have downloaded.
This command will start the installation process, and you will be prompted to enter your password for authorization.
Once the installation is complete, configure Munki by creating a configuration file. To do this, open Terminal and run the following command:
sudo nano /usr/local/munki/munkiimport.cfg
In the Nano text editor, add the following lines to the configuration file:
[repo_sync]
repo_url = https://munki.example.com/repo
Replace https://munki.example.com/repo with the URL of your Munki repository.
Save the changes and exit Nano by pressing CTRL+X, then Y, and then Enter.
Lastly, verify the installation of Munki on your macOS machine by running the following command in Terminal:
sudo /usr/local/munki/managedsoftwareupdate --version
If Munki is installed correctly, the command will output the version number of Munki.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Munki on your macOS machine. You can now use Munki to manage software installations on your machine.
