Using PowerShell, Bash, and Shell, you can automate a variety of IT tasks, including remotely installing applications. This article provides requirements and configuration information on how to install third-party applications to your JumpCloud managed systems from Commands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Prerequisites<\/strong>: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>The JumpCloud agent must be installed.

Find this information in your software vendor&#8217;s documentation or support resources.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Unattended or Silent Installation<\/strong>\n<ul>\n<li>Administrators aren\u2019t presented with an interactive session when they execute a command in JumpCloud. Commands are sent to the system for execution, and then the results are shown. So, it\u2019s required that all application installations have \u201csilent\u201d or \u201cunattended\u201d installation options.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-cgb-notification-card-wysiwyg notification-card note\"><div class=\"notification-card-content\"><div class=\"notification-card-icon\"><p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/themes\/jumpcloud\/assets\/images\/gutenberg-blocks\/note-icon.png\" \/><\/p><\/div><div class=\"notification-card-copy is-type-body-default\"><div><strong class=\"notification-card-type\">Note:<\/strong> \n<p>Definitions for silent or unattended installs vary between software vendors. A &#8220;silent&#8221; install doesn\u2019t display any indication of progress, while an unattended installation doesn\u2019t require user interaction. JumpCloud requires an &#8220;unattended&#8221; installation which doesn\u2019t require user interaction, but some vendors refer to this as &#8220;silent&#8221;.<\/p>\n <\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>For Windows Systems<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Most software vendors support EXE or MSI installation packages for Windows. There aren\u2019t any major functional differences between EXE or MSI, but MSI installation packages:\n<ul>\n<li>Are easier to deploy across several terminals over a network connection.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Provide additional pre-configuration options like silent installs.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>MSI packages can be more compatible with JumpCloud Commands. Refer to your software vendor&#8217;s documentation and support for more information on the best options and supported methods.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>For macOS X Systems<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Most software vendors support compressed archives (.zip, .tgz, etc.), DMG files, PKG files, and flat application files for a macOS X application. Refer to your software vendor&#8217;s documentation and support for more information on the best options and supported methods.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Setup and Execution<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Using the Upload File Functionality to Remotely Install an Application<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-cgb-notification-card-wysiwyg notification-card note\"><div class=\"notification-card-content\"><div class=\"notification-card-icon\"><p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/themes\/jumpcloud\/assets\/images\/gutenberg-blocks\/note-icon.png\" \/><\/p><\/div><div class=\"notification-card-copy is-type-body-default\"><div><strong class=\"notification-card-type\">Note:<\/strong> \n<ul>\n<li>The Upload File functionality in JumpCloud only supports files that are 1MB or smaller. If your installation package is larger than this, refer to the next section for instructions on how to download bigger installation packages.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You can upload one or more files to be pushed to the server prior to executing the command, including an installation package.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The file push occurs right before the command is executed.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Update the files anytime before you run the command. The next time the command runs, it will have the latest file.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You can include any data you like, such as a tarball, that your script can untar and use for any purpose.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n <\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>To remotely install an application using the upload file functionality<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>Log in to the JumpCloud Admin Portal: <a href=\"https:\/\/console.jumpcloud.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/console.jumpcloud.com<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Go to <strong>Commands<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Click ( <strong>+<\/strong> ) to create a new command.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Enter a name, then select the user you\u2019d like to run the command as.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Select Linux, Windows, or Mac, then click <strong>Upload File<\/strong> under <strong>Files<\/strong> to attach the installation package.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Modify the <strong>File Destination<\/strong> or keep it.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Populate your installation command.\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Note<\/strong>: Make sure to specify the full package path that was specified in Step 6.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Select the system groups or individual systems to remotely install the application on, then click <strong>save command<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-cgb-notification-card-wysiwyg notification-card important\"><div class=\"notification-card-content\"><div class=\"notification-card-icon\"><p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/themes\/jumpcloud\/assets\/images\/gutenberg-blocks\/important-icon.png\" \/><\/p><\/div><div class=\"notification-card-copy is-type-body-default\"><div><strong class=\"notification-card-type\">Important:<\/strong> \n<p>The application must support silent installation, otherwise this process just pushes a file to the endpoint.
