Unlike third-party utilities or legacy Apple software, Apple Configurator 2 is distributed . The primary deliverable is a .app bundle (installed via the App Store’s PKG system), not a traditional disk image.

You cannot download Apple Configurator 2 as a standalone .dmg file from Apple.

sudo ln -s "/Applications/Apple Configurator 2.app/Contents/MacOS/Apple Configurator 2" /usr/local/bin/ac2 Then run:

| Path Inside .app | Purpose | |-------------------|---------| | Contents/MacOS/Apple Configurator 2 | Main Mach-O executable (ARM64/x86_64 fat binary) | | Contents/Frameworks/ | Private frameworks – DeviceKit.framework (USB/network device discovery), RestoreKit.framework (DFU restore logic) | | Contents/Resources/ | Localized strings, device icons, .ipsw caching logic | | Contents/Library/LaunchServices/ | Helper tools for cfprefsd and recovery mode hooks | | Contents/PlugIns/ | App extensions for com.apple.configurator.actions (e.g., Erase, Update, Pair) |
