# macOS Installation ### **System Requirements** * x86\_64 CPU architecture * OS X 10.9 or later (10.11 or later recommended) ### **Install** The macOS operating system requires codesigning to be enabled in order to launch a downloaded `.pkg` file. If you have not configured codesigning for macOS, you will be unable to launch the installer. However, you can bypass this by right-clicking the `.pkg` file and choosing Open. Run the `eazyBackup.pkg` file and follow the prompts. Once installed, the client software prompts for account details to log in. If you are running the `.pkg` file from the Downloads directory, macOS will offer to move the `.pkg` file to the Trash after a successful installation. ### **Upgrading** The installer will safely remove and upgrade any prior versions of eazyBackup, including those with a different software branding. #### Silent upgrade (advanced) You can silently upgrade the software remotely via the eazyBackup Server interface, or by running `/usr/sbin/installer -allowUntrusted -pkg "eazyBackup.pkg" -target /` via your remote management software. ### **Uninstall** macOS does not have a standard system for uninstalling programs. However, you can still uninstall eazyBackup by running the following command from a terminal window: `sudo -u root "/Applications/eazyBackup.app/Contents/MacOS/uninstall"` This will automatically stop all running eazyBackup processes, unregister eazyBackup's launched services, and remove all application files from the disk. Uninstalling the software preserves any username/password credentials saved on this computer. To remove the saved credentials, delete the `/Users/USERNAME/Library/Preferences/backup-interface/config.sys` file. *** [eazyBackup](https://eazybackup.com) --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
