This guide provides instructions on manually installing the Vanta Device Monitor on a Mac device using Terminal.

Prerequisites

  • Administrator permissions on the device. If you do not have administrator access to your computer, please contact the system administrator or your company's IT team.

  • Vanta Admin permissions, or assistance from your Vanta Admin to obtain the Vanta Key & pre-generated script. We are unable to give it to you since the key is confidential information.

Procedure
