macOS PKG Installer[old]

macOS PKG Installer

To get started with Lumia, you first need to deploy the Lumia configuration to the macOS endpoints you want to monitor. The PKG can be deployed either manually or via your MDM solution.

Interactive Installation

Run the provided PKG file by double-clicking it. Administrator privileges are required to perform the installation. Lumia will be installed for all users on the machine.

Non-Interactive (Silent) Deployment via MDM

For non-interactive deployment via MDM, the Lumia Certificate must be trusted on the remote machine before deploying the Lumia PKG. This is required because macOS only allows certificates to be trusted non-interactively via MDM. If you are not sure how to trust certificates using your MDM, please contact us.

Setting the Endpoint’s Email / Identity

Setting the endpoint’s email address enables communication with the user in case of policy violations (e.g., email, Slack, etc.).
There are two ways to set the email address during deployment:
  1. Mapping between Computer Name and Email Address
    2. You can provide a mapping between computer names and email addresses using a .csv file. Once provided, we we will incorporate it into the installer so that the endpoint will be registered using the correct email address.
  2. Using an external tool (before the PKG installer)
    3. You can set the email address using an external tool that runs before the PKG installer. To pass the email address to the installer, use the following command (replace <email address> with the user’s email):
#!/bin/sh

defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.lumiasecurity.installer email <email address>
If the email address is not provided by either of the above methods, the installer will register the endpoint with the Lumia platform using the Username@HostName convention.

Uninstallation

To uninstall Lumia, use the Lumia_Uninstall.pkg. Administrator privileges are required to perform the uninstallation.
