Hi Everyone,

 

Am trying to Packaging Homebrew-4.4.0.pkg using Jamf composer

When i install Homebrew-4.4.0.pkg on clean Mac machine it will install without issue it shows Homebrew 4.4.0 when checked on terminal with brew -v

but

When i package it using jamf composer and install the packaged Homebrew on other Mac machine it will show Homebrew 4.3.0 on terminal with brew -v.

Can someone please help me with this, packaging Homebrew 4.4.0 is not right?

 

Why repackage?

There is a requirement, installing Homebrew-4.4.0.pkg is asking Xcode command Line as pre-req so repackaging it to combine both xcode and homebrew in one .pkg

ugh.. don't do that.

get CLI tools pkg.. and upload that and combine the two pkgs in the one policy..  

don't forget CLI tools is 700MB? ish and can take time to install..  if you have devs that need brew, you may want to deploy CLI tools as part of onboarding.. 

 

 You can download and install Xcode Command Line Tools through the Apple Developer portal

  1. Go to developer.apple.com/downloads and log in with your Apple ID.
  2. Type "command line tools" in the search field and hit Enter.
  3. Download

You can also install Xcode CLT via script. Rich Trouton has one and Kandji has one on their GitHub repo. (It's MDM agnostic)

The download and install takes quite a few minutes so it'd need additional work if you were adding it in Self Service, otherwise you just get the spinning loading icon in Self Service and it looks like it's not doing anything.
