What’s included in the installer. The Docker Desktop installation includes Docker Engine, Docker CLI client, Docker Compose, Docker Machine, and Kitematic. Install and run Docker Desktop on Mac. Double-click Docker.dmg to open the installer, then drag the Docker icon to the Applications folder.
These advanced steps are primarily for system administrators and others who are familiar with the command line. You don't need a bootable installer to upgrade macOS or reinstall macOS, but it can be useful when you want to install on multiple computers without downloading the installer each time.
Download macOS
Find the appropriate download link in the upgrade instructions for each macOS version:
- macOS Catalina, macOS Mojave, and macOS High Sierra download directly to your Applications folder as an app named Install macOS Catalina, Install macOS Mojave, or Install macOS High Sierra. If the installer opens after downloading, quit it without continuing installation.
To get the required installer, download from a Mac that is using macOS Sierra 10.12.5 or later, or El Capitan 10.11.6. Enterprise administrators, please download from Apple, not a locally hosted software-update server. - macOS Sierra downloads as a disk image that contains a file named InstallOS.pkg. Open this file and follow the onscreen instructions. It installs an app named Install macOS Sierra into your Applications folder.
- OS X El Capitan downloads as a disk image that contains a file named InstallMacOSX.pkg. Open this file and follow the onscreen instructions. It installs an app named Install OS X El Capitan into your Applications folder.
Use the 'createinstallmedia' command in Terminal
- Connect the USB flash drive or other volume that you're using for the bootable installer. Make sure that it has at least 12GB of available storage and is formatted as Mac OS Extended.
- Open Terminal, which is in the Utilities folder of your Applications folder.
- Type or paste one of the following commands in Terminal. These assume that the installer is still in your Applications folder, and MyVolume is the name of the USB flash drive or other volume you're using. If it has a different name, replace
MyVolume
in these commands with the name of your volume.
Catalina:*
Mojave:*
High Sierra:*
Sierra:
El Capitan: - Press Return after typing the command.
- When prompted, type your administrator password and press Return again. Terminal doesn't show any characters as you type your password.
- When prompted, type
Y
to confirm that you want to erase the volume, then press Return. Terminal shows the progress as the bootable installer is created. - When Terminal says that it's done, the volume will have the same name as the installer you downloaded, such as Install macOS Catalina. You can now quit Terminal and eject the volume.
* If your Mac is using macOS Sierra or earlier, include the
--applicationpath
argument, similar to the way this argument is used in the commands for Sierra and El Capitan.Use the bootable installer
After creating the bootable installer, follow these steps to use it:
- Plug the bootable installer into a compatible Mac.
- Use Startup Manager or Startup Disk preferences to select the bootable installer as the startup disk, then start up from it. Your Mac will start up to macOS Recovery.
Learn about selecting a startup disk, including what to do if your Mac doesn't start up from it. - Choose your language, if prompted.
- A bootable installer doesn't download macOS from the Internet, but it does require the Internet to get information specific to your Mac model, such as firmware updates. If you need to connect to a Wi-Fi network, use the Wi-Fi menu in the menu bar.
- Select Install macOS (or Install OS X) from the Utilities window, then click Continue and follow the onscreen instructions.

This topic describes how to deploy Microsoft Defender ATP for Mac manually. A successful deployment requires the completion of all of the following steps:
Prerequisites and system requirements
Before you get started, see the main Microsoft Defender ATP for Mac page for a description of prerequisites and system requirements for the current software version.
![For For](https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a8c6f4d6f4ca3b3fd0bcd89/1519297318576-B1H5YICYR0PVFTXUA328/ke17ZwdGBToddI8pDm48kH4sSMga5jILoJKj3EloQr5Zw-zPPgdn4jUwVcJE1ZvWEtT5uBSRWt4vQZAgTJucoTqqXjS3CfNDSuuf31e0tVGidikdXruFmDtc3fq6sBDW0gsItcLo4HO2ncXgAsg4imbSd6kfRtgWHgNMDgGnmDY/menu.png)
Download installation and onboarding packages
Download the installation and onboarding packages from Windows Defender Security Center:
- In Windows Defender Security Center, go to Settings > Machine Management > Onboarding.
- In Section 1 of the page, set operating system to Linux, macOS, iOS, and Android and Deployment method to Local script.
- In Section 2 of the page, select Download installation package. Save it as wdav.pkg to a local directory.
- In Section 2 of the page, select Download onboarding package. Save it as WindowsDefenderATPOnboardingPackage.zip to the same directory.
- From a command prompt, verify that you have the two files.Extract the contents of the .zip files:
Application installation
To complete this process, you must have admin privileges on the machine.
- Navigate to the downloaded wdav.pkg in Finder and open it.
- Select Continue, agree with the License terms, and enter the password when prompted.ImportantYou will be prompted to allow a driver from Microsoft to be installed (either 'System Extension Blocked' or 'Installation is on hold' or both. The driver must be allowed to be installed.
- Select Open Security Preferences or Open System Preferences > Security & Privacy. Select Allow:
![Mac Mac](https://bluebellflora.files.wordpress.com/2019/06/enable-cc-mods.png?w=760)
The installation proceeds.
Caution
If you don't select Allow, the installation will proceed after 5 minutes. Defender ATP will be loaded, but some features, such as real-time protection, will be disabled. See Troubleshoot kernel extension issues for information on how to resolve this.
Note
macOS may request to reboot the machine upon the first installation of Microsoft Defender. Real-time protection will not be available until the machine is rebooted.
Client configuration
- Copy wdav.pkg and WindowsDefenderATPOnboarding.py to the machine where you deploy Microsoft Defender ATP for Mac.The client machine is not associated with orgId. Note that the orgId attribute is blank.
- Run the Python script to install the configuration file:
- Verify that the machine is now associated with your organization and reports a valid orgId:
After installation, you'll see the Microsoft Defender icon in the macOS status bar in the top-right corner.
How to Allow Full Disk Access
Caution
macOS 10.15 (Catalina) contains new security and privacy enhancements. Beginning with this version, by default, applications are not able to access certain locations on disk (such as Documents, Downloads, Desktop, etc.) without explicit consent. In the absence of this consent, Microsoft Defender ATP is not able to fully protect your device.
To grant consent, open System Preferences -> Security & Privacy -> Privacy -> Full Disk Access. Click the lock icon to make changes (bottom of the dialog box). Select Microsoft Defender ATP.
Logging installation issues
See Logging installation issues for more information on how to find the automatically generated log that is created by the installer when an error occurs.
Uninstallation
See Uninstalling for details on how to remove Microsoft Defender ATP for Mac from client devices.
