Create Your Own .pkg Installer for ARD/DS/JAMF

Hi Everybody,

Sometime ago, Sophos discontinued their package distribution for Sophos due to signing conflicts. Just wanted to say that if you miss the .pkg installer, you can still build one yourself in about three easy steps. You'll need the following free 3rd party tool, called "Packages," and a bash script to execute the command outlined here.

Step 1: Choose "Raw Package"

Step 2: Give it a name.

Step 3: Add your Sophos install folder and script to the installer. Click build. You're done.

Bash Script:

#!/bin/bash
  
# Invoke non-GUI installer via command line
$PWD/Sophos\ 9.6.7/Sophos\ Installer.app/Contents/MacOS/tools/./InstallationDeployer --install

exit

Note: If you happen to have a developer account with Apple, you can also apply a distribution cert to the package so that people running the installer locally won't be pestered by Gatekeeper.
