"Hi Allister,
At this time, we don't have a built-in silent install option for Mac Sync. Our product and engineering teams are aware of this shortcoming, and may look to prioritize it in the near future. I apologize for the inconvenience here.
Sincerely,"
Hey Support,
I’m not just asking silent, you have no ‘installer’, by which I mean package, at all. Here, we did most of the work for you:

We’re hacking around your lack of a package by pulling it down, putting the app into a package, then once installed moving the PrivHelper files in place. This is crappy, the tools you need to install should be in the payload. And look, with proper tooling it took the community five minutes to work around your lack of a software release process. You can do this. Don’t give me a ‘look into my crystal ball for when development and engineering MIGHT prioritize it’. Do it.
No, really, do it. It isn’t hard.
