You can download or right-click to copy the silent installer URL on the download screen.

If you're trying to run the Swif Mac silent installer, downloading it directly from a browser may cause macOS to detect it as a virus. Instead, follow these steps:

  1. Use Curl to download the installer:

    curl -OL https://cdn.swifteam.com/st-agent-ui/{{TEAM_ID}}/1.40.0/macOS-Silent-macos-installer-x64-1.40.0.pkg
  2. Install the package with this command:

    sudo installer -pkg macOS-Silent-macos-installer-x64-1.40.0.pkg -target /

This ensures smooth installation without macOS blocking the file.

P.S. You can also use the silent installer on existing MDM-managed machines to silently migrate the existing MDM to Swif. Here are 2 examples:

Note, that the silent installer package can not be opened by double-clicking because of Apple policy or you might get this error "macOS silent installer can't be opened because Apple cannot check it for malicious software.
