Install the Elastic Agent on macOS systems.

mac-os-elastic-agent-install.sh

#!/bin/bash -eux
# Single script to install the Elastic Agent on macOS

# Downloads the Elastic Agent and saves it to your computer in the current directory (example in Downloads, Desktop, etc.)
curl -OL https://artifacts.elastic.co/downloads/beats/elastic-agent/elastic-agent-8.2.0-darwin-x86_64.tar.gz

# Uses the Tar command to decompress the Elastic Agent and prepare it for installation
tar zxf elastic-agent-8.2.0-darwin-x86_64.tar.gz

# Enters the Elastic Agent directory that was decompressed in the previous step
cd elastic-agent-8.2.0-darwin-x86_64

# Uses "super user do" to install the Elastic Agent, sends data to Elastic Cloud, and enrolls it in Fleet so that updates to the Agent can be managed within Kibana
sudo ./elastic-agent install -f --kibana-url=fleet-server-address --enrollment-token=enrollment-token

@yassermkh did you use the -f flag? That should do a force installation.

$ elastic-agent install --help

Usage:
  elastic-agent install [flags]
...
-f, --force  Force overwrite the current and do not prompt for confirmation
...

no didn't use that argument but I managed to make it work by answering that message with Y using :

yes | ./elastic-agent install -f --kibana-url=fleet-server-address --enrollment-token=enrollment-token

Anyone managed to grey out the elastic-agent in the login items in Ventura!?

Hey @yassermkh you might get better support on the Elastic Agent Discuss site. https://discuss.elastic.co/tags/c/elastic-stack/beats/28/elastic-agent

"Elastic Agent provides commands for running Elastic Agent, managing Fleet Server, and doing common tasks."
