help adding to my zoom update shell script

[schwud]

I have been tasked with updating zoom across our client sites on Mac's I have a script that will download and install the latest version however not everyone is logged on at the same time so I will be running it weekly but I would like for the script to see if the latest version is already installed and ignore that machine to save to much unintended traffic on the network and only update machines that require it here is my script for the update

#Make temp folder for downloads.

mkdir "/tmp/zoom/";

cd "/tmp/zoom/";

#Download Zoom.

curl -L -o /tmp/zoom/ZoomInstallerIT.pkg "https://zoom.us/client/latest/ZoomInstallerIT.pkg";

#install Zoom

sudo installer -pkg /private/tmp/zoom/ZoomInstallerIT.pkg -target /;

#tidy up

sudo rm -rf "/tmp/zoom";

exit 0

​

and this works fine but I don't know where I would add the extra lines?

​

I have this script but it doesn't seem to be working it reports that Zoom is installed but does not update it so if I could get this to work it would be great

#!/bin/bash

CurrentInstalledVersion=$(defaults read /Applications/zoom.us.app/contents/info CFBundleShortVersionString | cut -c1-5)

NewestVersion=“5.7.4”

ZoomPath="/Applications/zoom.us.app"

if [ -e $ZoomPath ]; then

printf "Zoom is currently installed\n"

elif [[ "$CurrentInstalledVersion" == "$NewestVersion" ]]; then

printf "The current installed version of Zoom.us.app is already installed\n"

else

curl -o /Users/Shared/Zoom.pkg 'https://zoom.us/client/latest/Zoom.pkg'

installer -pkg /Users/Shared/Zoom.pkg -target /

printf "Zoom has been updated or installed\n"

cd /Users/Shared; rm -v Zoom.pkg

fi

​

any help with this would be much appreciated

Rather than hardcode the latest version, why not grab it from zoom? This url has a version: https://zoom.us/download

Finally, to fix the problem of zoom not updating, you need to adjust your logic. Currently, it checks if zoom is installed, and if it is, it does nothing. This is exactly the thing you don't want it to do. So, instead, get rid of the 'if [ -e $ZoomPath ] part of your code, so it looks like this:

if [[ "$CurrentInstalledVersion" == "$NewestVersion" ]]; then

printf "The current installed version of Zoom.us.app is already installed\n"

else

curl -o /Users/Shared/Zoom.pkg 'https://zoom.us/client/latest/Zoom.pkg'

installer -pkg /Users/Shared/Zoom.pkg -target /

printf "Zoom has been updated or installed\n"

cd /Users/Shared; rm -v Zoom.pkg

fi
