I couldn't find instructions anywhere for how to install CMK agent onto a OSX machine. Above is what finally got things to work for me

Hi, thank you very much for this script. It helped me a lot !

Serge

Thank you for your efforts.
I could setup macOS agent for checkmk and it looks to be running fine.

Mac mini 2018
macOS Ventura Version 13.1

PS. It faild at 'mkdir /etc/check_mk'.
I created it manually after the script had ran.

Regards,
Taka
