Graphical installation for MacOS

  • The MacOS GUI installation client allows users to select the applications they need when they need them through a MacOS-native graphical client. Applications are updated on a rolling basis and are available to the user at their convenience. Updates are reported to be available, but are managed by the user.

Command line installation using the SBGrid package mangager for Linux and MacOS

  • The SBGrid CLI tool allows users to choose the titles they wish to install using a command-line driven package manager. Applications can be installed and updated as convenient. Updates are released on a rolling basis and can be installed by the user as necessary. This client can be made automatic or used in manual mode.
