Command line installation
Skip the GUI installation by installing ESET Endpoint Security via command line. If your computer is not enrolled in MDM, you will still need to manually allow user access permission for ESET Endpoint Security in System Settings.

If you are using command line installation to install ESET Endpoint Security remotely, we recommend that you distribute configuration profiles with user consent settings via MDM before the ESET Endpoint Security installation. You can find configuration profile settings in the Pre-installation settings chapter. |

4.Installation fails, this is expected as the end-user terms of use were not approved. To be able to approve it from the command line, a new folder (/Library/Application Support/ESET/Security/tou/) was created, which contains a file that will be used for approving end-user terms of use during the command line installation (accept_terms.xml).
5.To accept the terms and install ESET Endpoint Security, Re-run the installer with the created file:
sudo installer -target / -pkg "Install ESET Endpoint Security.pkg" -applyChoiceChangesXML "/Library/Application Support/ESET/Security/tou/accept_terms.xml" |
