# Mac Installation Process

After selecting to download the mac version of the dope.endpoint a ZIP fie will be downloaded to your device.

The ZIP file will be called **dope\_security*****\_mac\_1.0.XXXX.zip***

Extract the ZIP file, it will contain the following three files:

* **dope\_security\_1.0.XXXX.pkg** — The dope.endpoint installer.
* **dope.security.root.crt** — The dope.security Root CA, required for SSL inspection.
* **agent\_parameters.json** — Tenant-specific data required for the installation process.

{% hint style="warning" %}
All three files must be in the same directory or the installation will FAIL.
{% endhint %}

To install the dope.endpoint, double click on the PKG file from within the ZIP file. This will launch the Installer UI. From here select **Continue**.
