Here's a how-to about installing and "awakening" the McAfee Agent on a Mac computer. McAfee articles and other sources are listed at the bottom.
First log on to the Mac as an administrator
Copy the file install.sh from this location:
<Your McAfee ePO Directory>\DB\Software\Current\EPOAGENT3700MACX\Install\0409
and paste it on the Mac's desktop.
Open a Terminal window (type "Terminal" in the spyglass)
Navigate to the desktop by typing cd desktop and press enter
Type sudo chmod +x install.sh and press enter
Type the administrator password when prompted...
Begin the installation by typing sudo ./install.sh -i and press enter
Type the administrator password again if prompted
The terminal will show notification once the installation is complete.
Wake up the agent by typing sudo /Library/McAfee/cma/bin/cmdagent -p
Enter the administrator password if prompted
