You can install ESET Endpoint Security locally from the installation .dmg file. Before you start the installation, close all your open computer programs. ESET Endpoint Security contains components that may conflict with other antivirus programs installed on your computer. Therefore, we strongly recommend removing all other antivirus programs to prevent potential problems. After the installation, the onboarding wizard is displayed, follow the steps as described here to ensure the protection of your computer. |

You can install ESET Endpoint Security without interacting with the installers' GUI. You can also use this method to install ESET Endpoint Security remotely. If you are installing ESET Endpoint Security remotely, we recommend applying user consent settings via MDM before the installation. |

ESET Endpoint Security requires user consent settings to function. These settings need to be manually applied after the installation. Your device must be enrolled in MDM to avoid adding user consent settings to each computer. MDM will then be used to distribute configuration profiles to target computers. If you do not apply these settings before installation, users will receive multiple pop-up dialogues urging them to apply user consent settings manually. We recommend distributing configuration profiles before the ESET Endpoint Security installation. |
