Overview** This document covers the deployment of the PIXM browser extensions on an organization’s Macs managed by a Free Mosyle Business account. The extension deployment covers Chrome, Firefox and Safari browsers. The deployment will require access to the below files, which you should confirm before proceeding. **Download URLs for Pixm MacInstaller and PixmMacUninstaller** **Profile for Pixm Chrome Extension Prod** **Profile for Pixm Firefox Extension Prod** The first two sections cover deployment of the PixmMacInstaller. This includes creating a Device Group to track which Mac devices the installer deploys to, and the deployment step itself. The following three sections cover the deployment of the PIXM browser extensions to Chrome, Firefox, and Safari browsers, respectively. Please note: these sections must be followed sequentially so that the PixmMacInstaller is deployed before any of the browser extensions. The remaining sections walk through the uninstallation process. ## **2. Creating a Custom Device Group for Pixm Mac Deployment** This section explains how to create a Custom Group to dynamically track which Mac devices the **PixmMacInstaller** is deployed to. This step ensures that the browser extensions deployed in subsequent steps are not installed on devices until the **PixmMacInstaller** has been deployed first. On the **Management** page, click on **Device Groups** under **Devices** from the left panel.![](https://cdn.document360.io/4d958006-b877-42af-8de5-00e3bb7fe41d/Images/Documentation/pixm----free-mosyle-deployment-of-pixm-extensions-without-cdn-image-0jc1zxlm.png) Click on **Add Device Group** **![](https://cdn.document360.io/4d958006-b877-42af-8de5-00e3bb7fe41d/Images/Documentation/pixm----free-mosyle-deployment-of-pixm-extensions-without-cdn-image-7g4weox9.png)** On the right side panel, enter “**Computers with Pixm Pkg Installed**” in the **Group Name.** Click on **Select** under **Device's Criteria to add devices to this Group.** ![](https://cdn.document360.io/4d958006-b877-42af-8de5-00e3bb7fe41d/Images/Documentation/pixm----free-mosyle-deployment-of-pixm-extensions-without-cdn-image-yn67bkvj.png) On the next dialog - **Edit Device’s Criteria**, leave the default values for **Last Update Info.** Under **Your Criteria,** click **ADD CRITERIA.** ![](https://cdn.document360.io/4d958006-b877-42af-8de5-00e3bb7fe41d/Images/Documentation/pixm----free-mosyle-deployment-of-pixm-extensions-without-cdn-image-0mkz8grk.png) An edit combo box will be opened. Click the drop down. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/4d958006-b877-42af-8de5-00e3bb7fe41d/Images/Documentation/pixm----free-mosyle-deployment-of-pixm-extensions-without-cdn-image-71uomfjz.png) This will open a list of available criterias. Scroll down till you see the **Custom Command.** Select the option **New Custom Command…** **![](https://cdn.document360.io/4d958006-b877-42af-8de5-00e3bb7fe41d/Images/Documentation/pixm----free-mosyle-deployment-of-pixm-extensions-without-cdn-image-ws08fdcg.png)** This will open a Free Scripting dialog. Enter “**Detect Pixm Mac Installation**” for Command Name. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/4d958006-b877-42af-8de5-00e3bb7fe41d/Images/Documentation/pixm----free-mosyle-deployment-of-pixm-extensions-without-cdn-image-mxtap3x2.png) In the script editor, located below the warning message, delete the existing contents and copy-paste the following script code: PIXM_NATIVE_HOST_FILE="/Library/Google/Chrome/NativeMessagingHosts/com.pixminc.pixm.json" # Check if the file exists if [ -f "$PIXM_NATIVE_HOST_FILE" ]; then echo "installed" exit 0 else echo "not installed" exit 1 fi Once the script code is entered, click the ✔ on the top right corner of the dialog. This will save the custom command and this dialog will be dismissed. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/4d958006-b877-42af-8de5-00e3bb7fe41d/Images/Documentation/pixm----free-mosyle-deployment-of-pixm-extensions-without-cdn-image-pw3r0jdc.png) Next, on the **Edit Device’s Criteria** dialog, form the **Custom Command Response** as follows: Select **is** in the drop box and enter **installed** in the text box as shown in the following screenshot. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/4d958006-b877-42af-8de5-00e3bb7fe41d/Images/Documentation/pixm----free-mosyle-deployment-of-pixm-extensions-without-cdn-image-uobtkqba.png) Select the check box **“Send an Update info to all devices”.** Click **✔** on the top right corner of the dialog to save the Device Criteria. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/4d958006-b877-42af-8de5-00e3bb7fe41d/Images/Documentation/pixm----free-mosyle-deployment-of-pixm-extensions-without-cdn-image-qo1tu5wj.png) Click **Save,** this will create a new **Custom Device Group.** This group dynamically tracks the Mac devices to which the **PixmMacInstaller** is deployed. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/4d958006-b877-42af-8de5-00e3bb7fe41d/Images/Documentation/pixm----free-mosyle-deployment-of-pixm-extensions-without-cdn-image-vnnr8m6v.png) You can click on the device group name **“Computers with Pixm Pkg Installed”** to see the members of this custom device group. This group will contain the Macs once the PixmMacInstaller package is deployed to them. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/4d958006-b877-42af-8de5-00e3bb7fe41d/Images/Documentation/pixm----free-mosyle-deployment-of-pixm-extensions-without-cdn-image-rd4vza3s.png) This custom device group is configured to automatically update its device list. However, based on our testing, after deploying PixmMacInstaller (as explained in Step 4: Deploying Pixm Mac Installer). Please note that the criteria for this device group is automatically updated once every 24 hours. However, if you want to update this custom device group immediately, you can click the "Refresh" link to update it based on the current status of the PixmMacInstaller deployment. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/4d958006-b877-42af-8de5-00e3bb7fe41d/Images/Documentation/pixm----free-mosyle-deployment-of-pixm-extensions-without-cdn-image-0yahaggd.png) Device list updated in the custom device group after refresh. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/4d958006-b877-42af-8de5-00e3bb7fe41d/Images/Documentation/pixm----free-mosyle-deployment-of-pixm-extensions-without-cdn-image-qrouzpos.png) ## **3. Deploying Pixm Mac Installer** The Pixm Mac installer and uninstaller packages are deployed using Custom Commands instead of Profiles because they lack a native Mac app file (.app) with a valid application bundle ID, which Mosyle requires. If we deploy the installer using a package identifier instead of an app bundle ID, Mosyle initially reports the installation as successful. However, during the next update, it checks the Applications inventory for the app bundle ID. Since only the package identifier is provided, Mosyle cannot find the app and marks the installation as removed or failed. To avoid this issue, we use Custom Commands to deploy the Pixm Mac installer and uninstaller packages instead of Mosyle Pkg profiles. On the **Management** page, click **Custom Commands** under **Management Profiles** in the left panel. Click **Add new profile.** ![](https://cdn.document360.io/4d958006-b877-42af-8de5-00e3bb7fe41d/Images/Documentation/pixm----free-mosyle-deployment-of-pixm-extensions-without-cdn-image-uaonn5ia.png) A new **Custom Commands** configuration panel will open on the right. Enter **“Deploy Pixm Mac Installer Pkg”** as Profile Name. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/4d958006-b877-42af-8de5-00e3bb7fe41d/Images/Documentation/pixm----free-mosyle-deployment-of-pixm-extensions-without-cdn-image-4oa3ijv7.png) Click on the **Code** section to open the **Code Edit** dialog. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/4d958006-b877-42af-8de5-00e3bb7fe41d/Images/Documentation/pixm----free-mosyle-deployment-of-pixm-extensions-without-cdn-image-d4v9cw4q.png) In the **Code Edit** dialog, select **Free Scripting**, remove any sample script if present, and then copy and paste the following script. # Download Pixm Mac Installer pkg using its given download url and save as # PixmMacInstaller.pkg in /Users/Shared folder curl -L -o "/Users/Shared/PixmMacInstaller.pkg" "Download_Url_of_PixmMacInstaller_latest.pkg" # Run the pkg installer command to run the Pixm Mac Installer silently on the Mac installer -pkg "/Users/Shared/PixmMacInstaller.pkg" -target / # Remove the Pixm Mac Installer pkg after installation rm -rf "/Users/Shared/PixmMacInstaller.pkg" Please replace the string **Download_Url_of_PixmMacInstaller_latest.pkg** with the actual download URL of the **PixmMacInstaller_latest.pkg** file in the script above. For example, if the download URL for **PixmMacInstaller_latest.pkg** is[](https://storage.pixm.net/PixmMacInstaller_latest.pkg)**https://storage.pixm.net/PixmMacInstaller_latest.pkg**, then the **curl** command in script would be: curl -L -o "/Users/Shared/PixmMacInstaller.pkg" "https://storage.pixm.net/PixmMacInstaller_latest.pkg" The value **"https://storage.pixm.net/PixmMacInstaller_latest.pkg"** is provided only as an example. Please use the exact URL provided to your organization, here. Now, click the ✔ in the top right corner to save the command. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/4d958006-b877-42af-8de5-00e3bb7fe41d/Images/Documentation/pixm----free-mosyle-deployment-of-pixm-extensions-without-cdn-image-a5wymrdn.png) Click **Execution Settings** ![](https://cdn.document360.io/4d958006-b877-42af-8de5-00e3bb7fe41d/Images/Documentation/pixm----free-mosyle-deployment-of-pixm-extensions-without-cdn-image-fid1pklj.png) Click the **Execute command** drop-down box and select the value **“Immediately when saving the profile, upon assignment, or based on schedule or events”.** Select the **“Every Device Info” update** under **Event.** Select **“Only once (Event Required)”** under **Schedule.** This is the optimized **Execution Settings** configuration for the **PixmMacInstaller** package. This ensures the package is installed only once on a Mac. The command will not be sent repeatedly during every Device Info update unless the **Command Response Results** are cleared or the Mac is removed from MDM and reassigned. This can be explained by the following tip, which appears when you click the icon next to the **Schedule** option: **“Only once (Event Required)”**. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/4d958006-b877-42af-8de5-00e3bb7fe41d/Images/Documentation/pixm----free-mosyle-deployment-of-pixm-extensions-without-cdn-image-9mw9xuug.png) Now, scroll down the **Custom Commands** panel to assign the profile to the enrolled Macs. You can assign the profile to either a group of Macs or specific individual Macs. Click **Add Assignment** to open the device assignment dialog. We selected **“Devices from specific Device Groups”** in this example deployment. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/4d958006-b877-42af-8de5-00e3bb7fe41d/Images/Documentation/pixm----free-mosyle-deployment-of-pixm-extensions-without-cdn-image-2uqj9e9o.png) ![](https://cdn.document360.io/4d958006-b877-42af-8de5-00e3bb7fe41d/Images/Documentation/pixm----free-mosyle-deployment-of-pixm-extensions-without-cdn-image-7mietkll.png) This will open the **Device Groups Selector** dialog. Here, select any or all groups **except** the group named **"Computers with Pixm Pkg Installed."** This group will not contain any Macs because the **PixmMacInstaller** is being deployed exclusively through this custom command. In this case, we selected the group named **"General."** Select the ✔️icon on the top right corner to dismiss this dialog. **![](https://cdn.document360.io/4d958006-b877-42af-8de5-00e3bb7fe41d/Images/Documentation/pixm----free-mosyle-deployment-of-pixm-extensions-without-cdn-image-25hpt623.png)** Click **Save** on the **Custom Commands** panel. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/4d958006-b877-42af-8de5-00e3bb7fe41d/Images/Documentation/pixm----free-mosyle-deployment-of-pixm-extensions-without-cdn-image-ssj0mhcl.png) The command **“Deploy Pixm Mac Installer Pkg”** will now be listed under **Custom Commands** as shown below. Click the **View Results** link to check the installation status of the package. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/4d958006-b877-42af-8de5-00e3bb7fe41d/Images/Documentation/pixm----free-mosyle-deployment-of-pixm-extensions-without-cdn-image-aawe60g0.png) Here is the Results panel, which will open on the right side. The results will be logged for all Macs where the PixmMacInstaller.pkg has been deployed. The message “**The install was successful**” indicates that the PixmMacInstaller.pkg has been successfully deployed and executed on the Macs. ## **4. Deploying Pixm Chrome Browser Extension** This section guides you through deploying the Pixm Chrome browser extension. On the **Management page**, click **Certificates / Custom Profiles** under **Management Profiles** in the left panel, then click **Add new profile**. **![](https://cdn.document360.io/4d958006-b877-42af-8de5-00e3bb7fe41d/Images/Documentation/pixm----free-mosyle-deployment-of-pixm-extensions-without-cdn-image-p00gy32p.png)** The **Certificates / Custom Profiles** panel will open on the right side. Enter **Pixm Chrome Extension** as the Profile Name. Click **Select the file**. **![](https://cdn.document360.io/4d958006-b877-42af-8de5-00e3bb7fe41d/Images/Documentation/pixm----free-mosyle-deployment-of-pixm-extensions-without-cdn-image-gzfxbxvq.png)** Browse to the folder containing the file **“Profile for Pixm Chrome Extension Prod.mobileconfig”**, select it, and click **Open**. **![](https://cdn.document360.io/4d958006-b877-42af-8de5-00e3bb7fe41d/Images/Documentation/pixm----free-mosyle-deployment-of-pixm-extensions-without-cdn-image-oi304qlw.png)** Click **Add Assignment** to open the device assignment dialog. **![](https://cdn.document360.io/4d958006-b877-42af-8de5-00e3bb7fe41d/Images/Documentation/pixm----free-mosyle-deployment-of-pixm-extensions-without-cdn-image-fjwpogh5.png)** Select **“Devices from specific Device Groups”.** ![](https://cdn.document360.io/4d958006-b877-42af-8de5-00e3bb7fe41d/Images/Documentation/pixm----free-mosyle-deployment-of-pixm-extensions-without-cdn-image-5qdml5b4.png) In the **Device Groups Selector** dialog, locate the custom device group **“Computers with Pixm Pkg Installed”**, select it, and click the **✔** icon to close the dialog. Please do not select any other groups. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/4d958006-b877-42af-8de5-00e3bb7fe41d/Images/Documentation/pixm----free-mosyle-deployment-of-pixm-extensions-without-cdn-image-nja09bty.png) Click **Save**. This will deploy the profile to the custom device group targets. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/4d958006-b877-42af-8de5-00e3bb7fe41d/Images/Documentation/pixm----free-mosyle-deployment-of-pixm-extensions-without-cdn-image-uud4s3so.png) You can check the status of the profile deployment by clicking the **View Details** link. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/4d958006-b877-42af-8de5-00e3bb7fe41d/Images/Documentation/pixm----free-mosyle-deployment-of-pixm-extensions-without-cdn-image-uegyvgwx.png) ![](https://cdn.document360.io/4d958006-b877-42af-8de5-00e3bb7fe41d/Images/Documentation/pixm----free-mosyle-deployment-of-pixm-extensions-without-cdn-image-mj5f3yrn.png) (Optional) After the profile is deployed to Chrome on a Mac, you can optionally validate the deployment on the device. - For macOS versions below **Sequoia**, the profile should appear in **System Settings → Privacy & Security → Profiles**. - For macOS **Sequoia**, the profile should appear in **System Settings → General → Device Management**. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/4d958006-b877-42af-8de5-00e3bb7fe41d/Images/Documentation/pixm----free-mosyle-deployment-of-pixm-extensions-without-cdn-image-vo45enxz.png) (Optional) To further validate the deployment, restart or open the Chrome browser.

Click the extension icon to confirm that it is registered with the appropriate organization. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/4d958006-b877-42af-8de5-00e3bb7fe41d/Images/Documentation/pixm----free-mosyle-deployment-of-pixm-extensions-without-cdn-image-os3pifm6.png)![](https://cdn.document360.io/4d958006-b877-42af-8de5-00e3bb7fe41d/Images/Documentation/pixm----free-mosyle-deployment-of-pixm-extensions-without-cdn-image-1fgz0cua.png) ## **5. Deploying Pixm Firefox browser extension** The steps for deploying Pixm Firefox Browser extension are exactly the same as the steps in the Chrome section. The only change is that the “**Profile for Pixm Firefox Extension Prod**” file will be used instead. ## **6. Deploying Pixm Safari browser extension** Admins should be aware before proceeding: due to Apple’s Systems Integrity Protocol, completing Safari extension deployment will require consent steps from end users. This section covers those consent steps at the end. Deploying the Pixm Safari extension on Mosyle requires access to an **Apple Business Manager** (or **Apple School Manager**) account and adding the **Volume Purchase Program (VPP) token** to your organization’s Mosyle account. Before proceeding, ensure these requirements are met. For this demonstration, we used the Pixm Inc’s Apple Business Manager account as an example. Log in to **Apple Business Manager** at [https://business.apple.com](https://business.apple.com/), then click on the **Apps and Books** option in the left panel. Search for **Pixm Desktop**, and the app will appear in the list. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/4d958006-b877-42af-8de5-00e3bb7fe41d/Images/Documentation/pixm----free-mosyle-deployment-of-pixm-extensions-without-cdn-image-pdrrgeyo.png) Select the **Pixm Desktop** app, and in the panel on the right, choose your Organization name (here **Pixm, Inc**.) In the **Quantity** text box, enter the total number of Mac devices to which you wish to deploy the app. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/4d958006-b877-42af-8de5-00e3bb7fe41d/Images/Documentation/pixm----free-mosyle-deployment-of-pixm-extensions-without-cdn-image-clqpybvo.png) Next, add the **VPP token** from your Apple Business Manager account to your Mosyle account. Click your name in the bottom-left corner of the Apple Business Manager page, then select the **Preferences** option from the menu. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/4d958006-b877-42af-8de5-00e3bb7fe41d/Images/Documentation/pixm----free-mosyle-deployment-of-pixm-extensions-without-cdn-image-guy6kja9.png) Select **Payments and Billing**, then navigate to the **Apps and Books** tab. Scroll to the bottom to find your organization’s **Content Token**, and click Download. A file with the extension **.vpptoken** will be downloaded.
