Hi thanks for sharing! Would you know any links towards a Windows version?
Cheers!

CCMaker works pretty well for Windows. I don't know which sources for it are safe so I won't link any, but you should be able to find it easily.

Totally incompetent unknowledgable unworthy noob here, (self deprecation is the highest form of AI Flattery I’m told) so please forgive me in advance...

I know from my endless hours of research amongst 3 trusted & reliable sources that I should be looking to acquire (slightly) previous versions of the Adobe apps than what are offered via CC, for a slew of reasons. I also know that this “code block” does exactly that, which is great..

However, I am “Terminal Deficient” at the highest order, & so a combined ~430 lines of code would surely result in my laptop spontaneously combusting merely 1/2-through...

Can the entire block be copy/pasted? Do I have to have X Code, HomeBrew, or Command Line Tools installed? Is there any similar method for acquiring these installers that is slightly more GUI based?

Lastly, based on the content of my queries, & the lack of competency they so clearly demonstrate, is it a pretty safe assumption that I should keep looking for a method to acquire adobe installers? (Early CC 2020 was my general target zone, but certainly I would be thrilled w/ even say the latest 2019 CC, OR EVEN a mid-late 2019, if it had the advantage of more simplicity in the install process etc.

Sorry to pollute your comment thread here with this, just hoping that either someone pity’s me enough to help me in my (narrowly focused) quest, &/or can point me in the direction of an alternative solution.

Thx for all your hard work, Genuinely hope I’m not out of order with my question here.

@Col0nelPan1c you can just run /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://gist.githubusercontent.com/ayyybe/a5f01c6f40020f9a7bc4939beeb2df1d/raw/install.sh)" in Terminal, and then run "Adobe Packager.command" in your /Applications folder. It should be able to automatically configure itself in most setups.

Thank you so very much. Wish me luck, I shall embark upon this new frontier posthaste!

Nice script @ayyybe, which works very well! - I forked it and added some documentation as well as a binary built with pyinstaller. You can check it out here:

This should also help users like @Col0nelPan1c who asked above:

Very nice @chriswayg and @ayyybe, worked perfectly on Catalina 10.15.5. Hopefully we can keep this updated in a proper repo, as this is much better than looking for links on reddit.

I am glad you like it, @frankyw. I cleaned up and moved the repo to this location:

MOVED TO: https://github.com/chriswayg/CC-Offline-Package-Generator

I hope @ayyybe will be able to continue to improve the script which does the actual work. I merely created an easy to install wrapper.

I was able to reproduce: Install MUSE_2018.1.1-en_AE.app Failed with error code 182 installation error

I get the same result on Mojave in /Library/Logs/Adobe/Installers/Install.log

FATAL: Error occurred in install product workflow with error code 182 error message 

Using dummy files will get to this point in the log:

 Completed 'DOWNLOAD' task for Package (Name: AdobeMuse2018.1.1-en_US Version: 2018.1.1.29), Time taken '0' sec 

It is looking for two files which are missing:

 Completed 'DOWNLOAD' task for Package (Name: AdobeMuse2018.1.1-legal Version: 2018.1.1.29), Time taken '0' sec 
 Completed 'DOWNLOAD' task for Package (Name: AdobeMuse2018.1.1-AMT Version: 2018.1.1.29), Time taken '0' sec 

@ayyybe, how would you fetch these files from Adobe in Python code?

Hello, there something wrong with the script. I keep getting this error. I did it once already and it worked perfectly but now this script error keeps happening. Can you help?

It worked, thanks a lot! I only have one suggestion: add a progress bar like "#############................." and a percentage for downloading.

All perfectly installed at Catalina 10.15.6. Thank you for saving my a**!!

I was able to use on 10.14, but my mac died and i'm using an old 2009 macbook pro and need to instal Premiere 12.1.2 on it.
I removed 12.0, but when I try to download the update, after choose app, version and language, I get this:

Creating Install PPRO_12.1.2-en_US.app
compilation error: Error on line 45: SyntaxError: Unexpected identifier 'matches' (-2700)

Any help is welcome.
Thanks!

Apparently your Python 3 & PIP 3 installation is not correct, reinstall python3 & pip3 with brew.

This is awesome!

hello!
i have a brand new computer that came with macOS Catalina 10.15.6. this operating system seems to be apple's final gatekeeping statement and now all my softwares are down. either, they won't open or simply crash. i have been trying to download your offline adobe package without success. this is the message i get:

is there a way to open the installer and bypassing this security gatekeeping?

all advise is welcome!
thank you all to contributing to open source knowledge and use!

is there a way to open the installer and bypassing this security gatekeeping?

download "Command Line Tools for Xcode 12" from here https://developer.apple.com/download/more/ works just fine

hi! rookie here posting/commenting for the first time. I don't think that's a gatekeeper issue since you're downloading from apple's servers, but I couldn't figure out why the download failed either. from what little I understand the script can also run through xcode developer tools but those failed to download as well. that made me suspicious so I tried downloading manually from apple developer and it worked just fine. dunno why the automatic download doesn't work tho maybe just a glitch on apple's part?

thank you for your advise rookie
i have downloaded "command line tools for xcode 12", the package now runs but gives me the following error message:

any advise on how to proceed?

ps: do i need to have already installed AdobeZii for this to work?

Getting errors, does not work for me.

Same errors on my end.

Same here

Is possible to get an update please?

@ALL subscribers: the script has been silently updated. Download the new version 4.

I get this message:

@medusamask you have to have Creative Cloud installed.

@ayyybe will it be possible to add a progress bar to the downloads? My internet connection is not that good so I hope for the best when I run the script... thanks

Required for an update, i guess

This all worked well until doing the clicking the install link and getting 'Failed with error code 103'. From a quick google search this seem to be an Adobe server connection error.
Can anyone enlighten me how to solve this, like Col0nelPan1c I am mostly “Terminal Deficient” so keep it simple please.

I keep getting this any ideas?

whenever I try to use Command prompt to install this it just says "the system cannot find the path specified". Am I using the wrong thing for pc or should I do something different?

Did you install Python 3? The error indicates it can't find the Python 3 executable.

Hey, I've forked your Gist and given the final download a Progress bar... I get anxious when there's no visual display of progress so I thought it'd be a nice addition :D

Link: https://gist.github.com/SaadBazaz/37f41fffc66efea798f19582174e654c

This is very nice tool!
However, I would prefer to have installer apps to have the actual application name on them.
And if you could send the ccdl.py arguments like SAP and version (like latest) and it could automatically downoad and compose the latest version of available app.
...actually I found out that it can be semi-automated using an external script with arguments.

Just a fresh install of CC on a couple computers and receive the following error:

When I navigate to /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe Desktop Common/HDBox/Install.app/Contents/Resources/ indeed there's no app.icns file

@elkaboing
Go to "/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe Desktop Common/HDBox/Install.app/Contents/Resources/"
Make a copy of "CreativeCloudInstaller.icns" and rename the copy to "app.icns"
It should work.

@duemanisinistre This worked perfect, thank you

@elkaboing
Go to "/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe Desktop Common/HDBox/Install.app/Contents/Resources/"

@freddie187 - did you follow the steps duemanisinistre provided? This solved the error for me.

Enter the SAP code of the desired product... ???
Which?

I don't have /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe Desktop Common/
I reinstalled adobe creative cloud and it's still not there. What do I need to install to make it appear?
Edit: nvm, was looking in ~/Library. oops

May I know how to solve this?

Dev have to fix this tool, don't waste your time.

It would be nice to be able to package more than one language in the installer being generated. A valid use case is being able to have InDesign with Japanese/CJK Functionality + English UI, which requires installing both the Japanese and English versions of the program.

You can fix it yourself. Just click on download as ZIP to download all the files. Extract them and open up

ccdl.command file in your code/text editor
Change the last line to point to the directory where you have ccdl.py downloaded

python3 /Users/myusername/Downloads/a5f01c6f40020f9a7bc4939beeb2df1d-6e82a23d381059a345cdf77fc29595ef11985d31/ccdl.py

Open up ccdl.py and go to line 389 and change it to this

icon_path = '/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe Desktop Common/HDBox/Install.app/Contents/Resources/CreativeCloudInstaller.icns'

After that just chmod +x ccdl.command file and run.

Hi,
the icon path in the ccdl.py on line 389 is wrong with the latest CC App.
It is now: /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe Desktop Common/HDBox/Install.app/Contents/Resources/CreativeCloudInstaller.icns

Hi I have used this before on multiple machines with no issues before
Im trying to install on a 2011 MacBook Air running high Sierra,

Im getting an error when trying to run the Adobe Package.command from the applications folder.

Hopefully the screenshot posted, If not the Error line is:

starting ccdl
/Applications/Adobe Packager.command: line 41: python3: command not found
logout
Saving session...
...copying shared history...
...saving history...truncating history files...
...completed.

[Process completed]

any thoughts on what could be going on?

/Applications/Adobe Packager.command: line 41: python3: command not found

brew install python

I'm getting this same error mentioned above

FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe Desktop Common/HDBox/Install.app/Contents/Resources/app.icns' logout

but I do not even have the Adobe Desktop Common directory when I go looking. What am I missing?

I was getting an error FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe Desktop Common/HDBox/Install.app/Contents/Resources/app.icns', and it turns out the icon has been renamed in that directory. The new name is CreativeCloudInstaller.icns.

Just replace app.icns with CreativeCloudInstaller.icns on line 390 of the file and it works fine!

Here's a forked gist with the fix.

Hope this works for others!

EDIT: I should clarify you have to update the Python file. I think a few people worked this out, but for the sake of clarity. The shell script here is just to check you have Python installed and to download/run the script.

It worked, thank you, Noah!

To install Illustrator works well but to install Photoshop code 182. I'm try all 22 versions (22.0 to 22.3.1).

[EDIT]

it works! There were remnants of a previous installation. After removing by AppCleaner and Creative Cloud, it installed perfectly.

I was getting an error FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe Desktop Common/HDBox/Install.app/Contents/Resources/app.icns', and it turns out the icon has been renamed in that directory. The new name is CreativeCloudInstaller.icns.

Just replace app.icns with CreativeCloudInstaller.icns on line 390 of the file and it works fine!

Yes, works well. Thank you.

ThisIsNoahEvans, Thank you for posting the fork. I have a stupid question though. I had Adobe Packager v0.1.2 installed using the /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://gist.githubusercontent.com/ayyybe/a5f01c6f40020f9a7bc4939beeb2df1d/raw/install.sh)"

How do I install the fork with the corrections you posted? I am new to the MAC, trying to get the swing of things. Everyone swears its easier, but right now I'd disagree :) What do I paste in terminal or is there a way to actually edit the package contents in the file. Again, a complete idiot on MAC

Hi, sorry it took me a while to see this! That command downloads a script that, essentially, checks you have Python before running the Python script here.

If you just download (or copy into a new file) the contents of my fork, and then run that (python3 /path/to/script.py), you should be up and running.

Hope this helps!
