Banyan App Installer

Automate installation of Banyan App on end-user devices.

See Banyan documentation for more details.

---

Install using Zero Touch Flow

In the Banyan Command Center, navigate to Settings > App Deployment. Note down your org-specific app deployment parameters for use in the scripts below:

• Invite Code
• Deployment Key

The script will:

1. Create an mdm-config.json file that specifies app functionality
2. Download the latest Banyan app version and install it (you can also optionally specify an exact app version)
3. Stage the app with the device certificate
4. Start the app as the logged-on user

MacOS

Launch a terminal and run:

sudo ./banyan-macos.sh <INVITE_CODE> <DEPLOYMENT_KEY> <APP_VERSION (optional)>

Windows

Launch PowerShell as Administrator and run:

.\banyan-windows.ps1 <INVITE_CODE> <DEPLOYMENT_KEY> <APP_VERSION (optional)>

Linux

Launch a terminal and run:

sudo ./banyan-linux.sh <INVITE_CODE> <APP_VERSION (optional)>

Note that the Linux script doesn't stage the app with the device certificate or start it up.

---

Upgrade Flow

You can also use the scripts to upgrade the version of the Banyan app running on a device. Use the string "upgrade" for the Invite Code and Deployment Key parameters.

The script will:

1. Stop the app if it running
2. Download the latest Banyan app version and install it (you can also optionally specify an exact app version)
3. Start the app as the logged-on user

MacOS

Launch a terminal and run:

sudo ./banyan-macos.sh upgrade upgrade <APP_VERSION (optional)>

Windows

Launch PowerShell as Administrator and run:

.\banyan-windows.ps1 upgrade upgrade <APP_VERSION (optional)>

Linux

Launch a terminal and run:

sudo ./banyan-linux.sh upgrade <APP_VERSION (optional)>

Note that the Linux script doesn't start up the app.

Notes for usage with Device Managers

We have pre-configured the main script to be run via Device Managers (such as VMware Workspace ONE, Jamf Pro, Kandji, Microsoft Intune, etc.).

Jamf Pro

Use the banyan-macos-jamf.sh script, following our Jamf Pro - Zero Touch Installation doc.

Kandji

Use the banyan-macos-kandji.sh script, following our Kandji- Zero Touch Installation doc.

Microsoft Intune

Use the banyan-windows-intune.ps1 script, following our Intune - Zero Touch Installation doc.

VMWare Workspace One UEM

Use our base scripts and customize as needed, following our Workspace ONE UEM - Device Identity & Enhanced TrustScoring doc. You need to set a few additional parameters in the mdm-config.json file so Banyan’s TrustScoring engine can correlate data from devices running the Banyan Desktop App with the data in Workspace ONE UEM:

• mdm_vendor_name should be set to Airwatch
• mdm_present should be true
• mdm_vendor_udid should be the DEVICE UDID
