- Choose Install to computers on the network and click Install.

If a cloud storage app is installed, you can select it here.
Alternatively, select Network share. Click beneath it, click Choose, and then browse to a network share that users have read / write access to.
The Home location can be changed by the user after installation. - Specify a location for your unique client package to be generated.
- Agree to the license agreement and then click Install.
- When the network setup finishes, a DocsPlus Client.dmg will be generated at your specified location. You can then do one of the following:
- On each Mac client, browse to the DocsPlus Client.dmg, double-click it, and then run the DocsPlus Installer.pkg inside.
- Install via command line, such as:
sudo installer -pkg /path/to/DocsPlus\ Installer.pkg -target / - Deploy the DocsPlus Installer.pkg to clients via Apple Remote Desktop or similar.
