JAMF File Information for TestNav Installation

The Maine Department of Education has not created a JAMF file, as one is not required to install TestNav.

Districts or schools that need a PKG version of the TestNav macOS installer—for deployment through an MDM solution such as Jamf or Intune—can create one directly from the DMG using built‑in macOS tools. The steps below outline how to complete this process on a Mac.

Steps to Convert the TestNav DMG to a PKG

1. Mount the DMG
   • Double‑click the TestNav .dmg file to mount it.
2. Install the App
   • From the mounted DMG, drag TestNav.app into the Applications folder.
   • Once the app has been copied, eject the mounted DMG.
3. Create the PKG
   • Open Terminal (Applications → Utilities → Terminal).
   • Run the following command:

• Replace USERNAME with your macOS username if needed.
• Confirm the PKG
  • After the command completes, you should see TestNav.pkg on your Desktop.
  • This PKG can now be uploaded and deployed using your MDM solution.

Notes

• This process works when the DMG contains a standalone TestNav.app.
• Quotation marks are important in the command to handle spaces in file names.
• If your environment requires signed installers, the PKG can be signed after creation using a Developer ID Installer certificate.

sudo productbuild --component "/Applications/TestNav.app" "/Users/USERNAME/Desktop/TestNav.pkg"
