Apple macOS

This chapter refers to an Apple macOS operating system.

In order to select the correct package depending on the processor, check the chip of the macOS device you are using:

1. At the top left, open the Apple menu.
2. Select "About This Mac".
3. In the appearing window, look for "Processor" or "Chip".
4. Check if it says "Intel" or "Apple".

Installing

To install the Fabasoft Folio Client, perform the following steps:

1. Download the installation package that fits the chip type of the device from the Fabasoft Folio installation.
   Apple Chip
   https://<host>/<vdir>/fscasp/content/lib//CloudClient-Apple.dmg
   Intel Chip
   https://<host>/<vdir>/fscasp/content/lib//CloudClient-Intel.dmg
   Alternatively, you find the DMG file in the Setup\ComponentsBase\Client folder of the Fabasoft Folio distribution media.
2. Double-click the DMG file.
3. Drag the app to the “Applications” folder.
   Note: In case of an update keep in mind to close the Fabasoft Folio Client (menu bar > Folio symbol > Quit) before dragging the new app to the “Applications” folder and replacing the old one.
4. Open the “Applications” folder and run the Fabasoft Folio Client.
5. Enter the credentials of an administrative user to finish the installation.
   Note: For users without administrative rights, the administrator can finish the installation by executing the following command.
   sudo /Applications/Fabasoft*/Contents/MacOS/Fabasoft*UI* -runsetup:1
6. For optimum configuration, the authorizations required by the client should also be set. These are initially configured when the Fabasoft Folio Client is started for the first time if you confirm this in the dialogs (e.g. activating the web browser extension in Safari "Safari -> "Settings" > "Extensions").

Deployment via Mobile Device Management Profile

For preconfigured workstations, where the users do not have administrative rights, the following security settings must be configured for smooth operation.

The code requirements can be obtained by following command:

codesign --display -r - <path to application>

• * For “Apple Events” it is necessary to define the appropriate receiver.
