Hello everyone, I would like to know if it is possible to deploy pkg from a url. The reason I'm asking is because the linked url contains a version of the pkg that automatically logs in our agent.



If I simply download the pkg of the agent and store it on a cloud or other distribution point, it simply installs a generic agent which then needs to be logged into. You can understand how it’d be problematic to log into every computer individually after the agent has been installed.



Atera has a terminal command that allows one to download an instance of their agent with a url. This instance automatically logs in the user into the linked Atera environment upon completion of the install through terminal.



Does anyone know of a way to use Jamf Pro to ease that process so the agent of the url can be deployed on computers rather than the generic one from the pkg file?



Thank you.

when I run this it does not download the full pkg file.  am I missing something?

I corrected it and the install works. I'm however stuck with the same problem, it's just a generic installer without a login.



At this point I will need to figure out how to make the agent log in to my account after I have deployed it. This sounds very tricky and specific but is my only option at the moment.



Thanks again a thousand times for your help.



Try this:

#!/bin/bash
[ -f "/Library/Application Support/com.atera.ateraagent/regstore.json" ] && rm "/Library/Application Support/com.atera.ateraagent/regstore.json";mkdir -p "/Library/Application Support/com.atera.ateraagent" && echo '{"CompanyId": "NumberOfTheCompanyID", "IntegratorLogin": "mail@integrator.com"}' >> "/Library/Application Support/com.atera.ateraagent/regstore.json" && curl -L -o '/tmp/AgentInstaller.pkg' "https://Production.atera.com/GetAgent/mac/?0033z00002yUazFAAS" && (sudo installer -pkg /tmp/AgentInstaller.pkg -target /)

it works for me :-)
