Troubleshooting

  • Corporate security tool blocking pipe-to-shell. Use the manual install path instead.
  • No sudo. The install script needs admin privileges to write into /usr/local/bin and load a launchd daemon. Run it from an administrator account.
  • Gatekeeper rejects the pkg. The pkg is signed and notarized — if macOS still blocks it, check that the download wasn’t corrupted (shasum -a 256 mngd-agent-latest.pkg) and re-download from cdn.mngd.app.
  • Wrong OrganizationID. Run defaults read com.mngd OrganizationID and confirm it matches the UUID shown on the Get started page. Re-write it with defaults write com.mngd OrganizationID "<uuid>" if needed.
  • Network blocked. The agent talks to api.mngd.app over HTTPS. Confirm outbound 443 is allowed. No proxy config is supported yet.
  • Agent not running. Check with launchctl list | grep mngd. If it’s not there, re-run the install script.

”Can’t verify developer” on first launch

Section titled “”Can’t verify developer” on first launch”

Open System Settings → Privacy & Security, scroll to the bottom, and click Open Anyway next to the mngd entry. This happens once per binary and shouldn’t recur after first launch.

Email support@mngd.app with:

  • The output of defaults read com.mngd
  • The last 50 lines of /var/log/mngd-agent.log (if it exists)
  • Your organization’s short ID (first 8 characters of the UUID)
