Installing the Mac OS X agentThe Mac OS X agent can be installed or upgraded by downloading the installation file from theUnitrends Customer Care site. Before installing, ensure that the client is able to talk to the systemusing the host file or DNS. Follow the instructions below to install protection software.

To install Mac OS X protection software

1 Download the appropriate agent installer to the Mac OS X machine that you want to add to the Unitrendssystem. (Go to the Latest  agent  releases  page to download the installer.)

2 Log in to the Mac client as root user.

3 Change to the working directory where you have saved the agent installer, and run the command ls -l toview the installer file and determine whether you have execute permission. If necessary, add executepermission using the command:

chmod +x <file_name>

4 Begin the installation by executing the file:

sudo ./<file_name>

5 When a list of distribution files is presented, press Enter to continue.

6 Specify the directory location where the software will be installed or press Enter to accept the defaultdirectory (/usr/bp).

7 Enter the hostname of the system.

8 If using a low, medium or high security setting on the system, enter y when asked if the client and theserver (backup system) are separated by a firewall. This forces data communication between the systemand the client to use port 1745.

9 When prompted, press Enter. Your agent installation is complete. Register the client to your Unitrendsbackup system to begin protecting it.
