Creative Cloud Packager AutoPkg Recipes – By Patrick Fergus, Meredith Corporation
Creative Cloud Packager is a tool from Adobe that enables administrators to package all Creative Cloud applications and updates, or a customized subset. Creative Cloud Packager enables you, the MacAdmin, to maintain control of how Creative Cloud applications (and feature updates) are installed. You can tailor the Creative Cloud packages to meet the needs of your team. For example you can package Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign for some team members, and then provide all of the video production tools to others. But, creating packages with Creative Cloud Packager can be a lot of work.
This presentation will cover how to automate that work away with AutoPkg! AutoPkg is an automation framework for macOS software packaging and distribution, oriented towards the tasks one would normally perform manually to prepare third-party software for mass deployment to managed clients.
Patrick Fergus is a Mac Systems Administrator at Meredith Corporation, home of Better Homes and Gardens. When not staring at glowing rectangles, he’d rather be smoking pork shoulders and traveling with his family.
