Hi Luis,
Thanks for your information. Now I have created the package and install the package manually.
Btw, may I know can we run the package silently (without user interactive) via the command line or script?
Thanks.

I run the bash script in terminal:
#!/bin/bash
sudo installer -pkg 'Cortex XDR.pkg' -target /Applications
It popups the System extension blocked and need to enable manually. How I can enable it var the script? Any hints?
Thanks.

Hi @Houston29115 and @raymond.kwan What you are referring to are perform changes to the OS security profiles. This can be seamlessly performed with JAMF or similar solutions (e.g. Intune) for installation, deployment and upgrades.
You can refer to the documentation here: https://docs.paloaltonetworks.com/cortex/cortex-xdr/7-7/cortex-xdr-agent-admin/cortex-xdr-agent-for-...
