Sophos Endpoint for MAC Users

Thanks for that, I am trying to to create Sophos EndPoint for Home users who are using MAC as their operating system, by following this article...
http://www.sophos.com/en-us/support/knowledgebase/119744.aspx
I cant seem to run this command under windows OS "CreateUpdatePreconfig".
It gives an error when I run this command “./CreateUpdatePreconfig” 'CreateUpdatePreconfig' is not recognized as an internal or external command,operable program or batch file.
does these instructions need to be run on MAC computer?

Thanks, but when i open up the installer folder on MAC, i only see Sophos Installer.exe, however when i open up the same folder on Windows, i can see Sophos Installer.app ->Contents -> all the folders are listed there.
How can i see all that in MAC?

do i need somekind of packager software? so i can make changes in the package by defining the servername, username and password, and then package it again?

apologies i have read your instructions again, it make sense :-)
but i cant seem to drag and drop MACOS folder on to terminal window...

Did you type "cd " first?
You need to try to drag and drop it onto the window ar the point where the cursor is positioned. You don't HAVE to do this but is usually a quicker way to enter the full system path yo the file. You can simply type in the path too!

thanks, its working for me now :-)
the only thing, is when i define "PrimaryServerURL" as \\Sophos\updates\package\S000\exsxp; It puts them all in one line....
like \\SophosupdatespackageS000exsxp, without the slashes....so what I am missing?
