   Installing ESET Live Installer with pre-downloaded installation files

   If you click the ZIP icon, the ESET installation files will download to your desktop (eca_data.zip). You can reuse the Live Installer file for the next installation of this application so that you do not need to download the installation files from the ESET servers again.

   When you are using these pre-downloaded installation files, ensure that the eca_data.zip file is in the same folder as the ESET Live Installer (.pkg) file.

   

5. You may have the option to Change Install Location, depending on your hardware configuration. Proceed by clicking Install.

    • Allow system extensions for your ESET application for macOS
    • Allow Full Disk Access for your ESET application for macOS
