S.U.P.E.R.M.A.N. (or just super) enforces macOS minor updates and macOS major upgrades via multiple workflows that vary based on the system's current macOS version and CPU architecture. At this time there is no method in any version of macOS to programmatically install Mac App Store updates or Studio Display Firmware Updates.

Mac Computers With Intel

  • macOS 11 or newer.
  • The super script must run with system (root) privileges, but no additional credentials or MDM service is required.

Mac Computers With Apple Silicon

If no credentials are provided tosuper then macOS updates or upgrades can not be enforced on Mac computers with Apple silicon. In this case super prompts the user to provide their local account password.

Updating or Upgradingsuper Itself

New versions of super can always be installed on top of older versions. However, a major version upgrade (like 4.x to 5.x) of super indicates significant configuration changes such that settings for an older version of super are not compatible. If you have a working configuration for super version 3.0 you can upgrade your settings to support super version 5.x. There is no upgrade path for versions of super prior to version 3.0.
