Using Apple Remote Desktop to deploy FileMaker Pro on multiple machines (macOS)

Apple Remote Desktop allows you to deploy FileMaker Pro on multiple machines in an organization. The installation can be customized via settings read from the Assisted Install.txt file. This silent installation keeps user interaction to a minimum. See About the personalization file.

After you edit Assisted Install.txt, you can create a personalized .pkg file that you can install using Apple Remote Desktop.

  1. Create a working folder on a local drive (or a network volume, if necessary).
  2. Download the FileMaker Pro .dmg file and double-click to open it.
  3. Copy these files from the download folder to the working folder:
  • the FileMaker Pro.app bundle
  • the personalized Assisted Install.txt
  • the license certificate file
  1. Download the Apple Remote Desktop Deployment script for FileMaker Pro. The script is in the fmp_osx_deployment.zip file on the Product Documentation Center.
  2. Double-click the fmp_osx_deployment.zip file to extract the Apple Remote Desktop Deployment script (AppleRemoteDesktopDeployment.sh).
  3. In /Applications/Utilities, start Terminal.
  4. Type cd "", then press Return.
  5. Type sudo chmod +x ./AppleRemoteDesktopDeployment.sh, then press Return. When prompted to provide a password, enter an administrator password.
  6. Type ./AppleRemoteDesktopDeployment.sh "", then press Return.
    The script creates a personalized .pkg file in the working folder.
  7. Use Apple Remote Desktop to install the .pkg file. See Apple Remote Desktop Help.

Download “AppleRemoteDesktopDeployment.sh”
https://www.claris.com/resources/documentation/docs/fmp_osx_deployment.zip

The .pkg file must be signed by Apple.
Afterwards you can bind it into a DMG via DMG-Canvas (With Notification)

That also works with the new Apple M1 Silicon Hardware and Big Sur.

Hope thats helps ...
