# Install the Axiad Conductor OS Bridge Component

To make your browser talk to the identity devices plugged into the machine, you must locally install the Axiad Conductor OS Bridge application (Windows/MacOS). Only chromium-based browsers are supported.

> [!WARNING]
> Warning

> Single-user installation is supported for testing only.

## The Installation File

You can obtain the most up-to-date installation file from the [Axiad Technical Support team](mailto:support@axiad.com), who will send you a link to the installation package via our secure file sharing system. The package provides no installation options other than those provided by standard .msi or .pkg packages.

### Windows

> [!WARNING]
> Prerequisites
> 
> Install the latest version of [Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable downloads](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/windows/latest-supported-vc-redist?view=msvc-170)

There are **three** Windows versions of the Axiad Conductor OS Bridge package:

- **axiad-webpcsc-native-<VERSION>-admin.msi:** The Windows installer for all users. This requires local administration rights on the Windows machine.
- **axiad-webpcsc-native-<VERSION>-user-ui.msi:** The Windows installer for only the current user. **Recommended for testing only.**
- **axiad-webpcsc-native-<VERSION>-user.msi:** The silent Windows installer for the current user. **Recommended for testing only.**

### macOS

There is one MacOS version of the Axiad Conductor OS Bridge package:

- **axiad-webpcsc-<VERSION>.pkg:** The MacOS installer for all users on the machine. This requires an account with administrative privileges.
  - This installer can also be used for only the current user. **Recommended for testing only.**

### Automatically Deploy Axiad Conductor OS Bridge to Multiple Managed MacOS Workstations

Jamf Pro can be used to remotely deploy and install software packages to managed workstations. There are three steps involved in configuring the remote deployment and installation of software packages:

1. **Configure a Distribution Point.**

We will use a File Share Distribution Point as an example.

  1. In Jamf Pro, go to **All Settings > Server Infrastructure > File Share Distribution Points**.
  2. Click **New**.
  3. Provide a **name** and the **hostname or IP address** of the server that will serve as distribution point.
  4. Click the **File Sharing** tab.
  5. Complete the form with the protocol to use (SMB, AFP), the name of the network share, and account information.
  6. Click **Save**.
  7. The new file share distribution point is configured.
2. **Add the package to Jamf Pro.**

  1. In Jamf Pro, go to **All Settings > Computer Management > Packages**.
  2. Click **New**.
  3. Complete the form with the display name and actual file name stored in the distribution point.
  4. Click **Save**.
  5. The new software package is in Jamf Pro.
3. **Add a policy to deliver and install the package.**

The final step to complete the necessary configuration to remotely deploy and install a package is to configure a policy to do it.

  1. In Jamf Pro, navigate to **Computers > Policies**.
  2. Click **New**.
  3. Complete the form under **General** as needed with the display name, trigger(s), execution frequency, and target drive.
  4. Click the **Scope** tab.
  5. Select the target computers as needed.
  6. Click **Save**.
  7. The new policy is configured, and it is executed immediately.
