At present I am facing difficulties in deploying packages using Jamf Pro and I'm unsure of where I might be making mistakes. If anyone has experience with this and could provide some insight, I would greatly appreciate it.

How to Deploy Packages using Jamf Pro?
+1Best answer by VL35_2
Hi @evanadley, being new to Jamf Pro I'm not an expert on this product but the method I use to deploy a package is:
1. Settings > Computer Management > Packages > New > Filename, Choose File to point to .pkg file > Save (to upload). Edit Display Name, Category etc. as necessary.
2. Computers > Policies > New > Packages > Set Display Name, Trigger, Frequency etc. > Add newly created package > Scope (set as required) > Self Service (enable).
Users are then able to select the package through Self Service.
Hope this helps, or at least points in a direction where you may be able to self-resolve, but feel free to request more info.

+26Deploying a package is fairly simple.
- If the source files are in a .pkg or .dmg you can upload directly to Jamf.
- If they are not in a .pkg, or .dmg you will need to package the source files, and this can get complex.
- Add the source files to a policy payload.
- Scope the policy, and set triggers.
- Done.
However, lots can go wrong even assuming you did nothing wrong. Knowing what issues, you are seeing would help us provide advice.

+5I have a package that i need to import into Jamf Pro. The package itself has more then just a .pkg file and it looks like the other files are needed for the application to be installed. How do i set that up? It's been awhile since i used jamf and to be honest i am a windows guy.
