For Maxon App versions including Maxon App 2024.1.0 and newer:

Windows:

  1. Download Maxon App installer for Windows from https://www.maxon.net/try
  2. Open command prompt, running as Administrator.  Note: running command prompt without Administrator privileges will cause the install to fail.
  3. In the Command Prompt, go to the directory containing the Maxon App installer executable.
  4. Run the executable with the following parameters:

 

 

       <Full Installer Name>.exe --mode unattended --unattendedmodeui none

       Note: The installer will skip Maxon App launch if unattended mode UI is set to none.

You can add

--skipMaxonAppGui 1

to skip installation of Maxon App GUI if desired!

     <Full Installer Name>.exe --mode unattended --unattendedmodeui none --skipMaxonAppGui 1

Mac:

  1. Download Maxon App installer for Windows from https://www.maxon.net/try
  2. Run the downloaded dmg file.
  3. Right click on the Maxon App Installer.app in the Maxon App Installer GUI and select Show Package Contents.
     

  4. Open the /Contents/MacOS/ folder in the Finder window that opens up to see the installbuilder.sh

  6. Use the following parameters when executing the script:
       sudo installbuilder.sh --mode unattended --unattendedmodeui none

 

       Note: Running as ‘sudo’ is required as the installer needs elevated permissions to run. Using this will require the user to have administrator privileges.

       Note: The installer will skip Maxon App launch if unattended mode UI is set to none.

       You can add:

--skipMaxonAppGui 1

to skip installation of Maxon App GUI if desired!
