Slack OS X app auto-install/update deployment method / script

Thanks @JarvisUno I will test it out soon.

Anybody has a script to install and download the latest version of Slack?

Any script for M1 chip laptop

This script works for me. It is based on the Google Chrome DL and Install script found here: https://www.jamf.com/jamf-nation/discussions/20894/install-latest-version-of-google-chrome-without-re-packaging#responseChild196658

#!/bin/sh
dmgfile="Slack.dmg"
volname="Slack.app"
logfile="/Library/Logs/SlackInstallScript.log"

url='https://slack.com/ssb/download-osx'

/bin/echo "--" >> ${logfile}
/bin/echo "`date`: Downloading latest version." >> ${logfile}
/usr/bin/curl -L -o /tmp/${dmgfile} "${url}" >/dev/null 2>&1
/bin/echo "`date`: Mounting installer disk image." >> ${logfile}
/usr/bin/hdiutil attach /tmp/${dmgfile} -nobrowse -quiet
/bin/echo "`date`: Installing..." >> ${logfile}
ditto -rsrc "/Volumes/${volname}/Slack.app" "/Applications/Slack.app"
/bin/sleep 10
/bin/echo "`date`: Unmounting installer disk image." >> ${logfile}
/usr/bin/hdiutil detach $(/bin/df | /usr/bin/grep "${volname}" | awk '{print $1}') -quiet
/bin/sleep 10
/bin/echo "`date`: Deleting disk image." >> ${logfile}
/bin/rm /tmp/"${dmgfile}"

exit 0

Hey All,

Thought I would post this to help others. I found the links for the 3 different installers:

Intel = curl "https://slack.com/ssb/download-osx" -s -L -I -o /dev/null -w '%{url_effective}'
Silicon = curl "https://slack.com/ssb/download-osx-silicon" -s -L -I -o /dev/null -w '%{url_effective}'
Universal = curl "https://slack.com/ssb/download-osx-universal" -s -L -I -o /dev/null -w '%{url_effective}'
