Skip Apple Setup Assistant

==========================

This repository contains a script to build a package that when installed, on a system image or as part of an OS deployment workflow, disables Apple's first boot setup assistant. You can download a prebuilt, signed, flat package from the [releases page](//github.com/MagerValp/SkipAppleSetupAssistant/releases).

The package consists of two empty, hidden files, that when present in a system prevents the setup assistant from running:

* `/private/var/db/.AppleSetupDone`

* `/Library/Receipts/.SetupRegComplete` (only needed for old versions of OS X)

The package only contains a payload with these two files, there are no scripts or other moving parts.

What Isn't Skipped

------------------

This package skips the setup assistant, but users will still be prompted with the following dialogs when logging in:

What You Have To Do

-------------------

The setup assistant configures several important apsects of the system. Instead you will have to configure the image or deployment workflow to perform these steps:

* Keyboard & Region

* Timezone

* Location Services

* Network setup

* Create first user, e.g with [CreateUserPkg](http://magervalp.github.io/CreateUserPkg/)
