macOS: Install the SASE Agent

Modified on Wed, 3 Sep at 11:49 AM

In most cases, Lineal engineers will be able to deploy and configure the SASE agent ("Enclave") for you, without you needing to do anything at all. However, sometimes you may need to install the agent manually (e.g. if the device is not covered by a Lineal management service). There are two options, either with Homebrew or without (if you're not sure, use the Without Homebrew option).

You can download the latest version of the SASE agent installer directly using this link:
