If you are using macOS Sierra, run the command:

sudo bash EraAgentinstaller.sh

instead of:

bash EraAgentinstaller.sh

in step 10b.

  1. When you are prompted for your password, type the password for your user account. Though characters will not appear, your password will be entered. Press Return when you are finished to continue installation.
  2. Click Go → Utilities and then double-click Activity Monitor. Click the Energy tab and locate the process called ESET Remote Administrator Agent to verify that the Agent is running. You can now manage this client computer using ESET Remote Administrator.
