Full Versus Extended Agent Support

  • Full: We have thoroughly tested the operating systems and provide full support and troubleshooting for related issues.
  • Extended: These operating systems have the same underlying core components as those in full support. We do not fully validate or test these machines directly, but they should be functional. Fix times may be slower for these versions. Depending on the extent of the problem, we may be unable to resolve the issue.

Hardware Requirements

Ensure that endpoints meet the following minimum hardware requirements before installing the NinjaOne agent.
CategoryRequirements
CPUAll Intel and Apple silicon CPUs
Memory
  • Workstations: 2 GB RAM
  • Servers: 4 GB RAM

Notes
  • Apple's support extends only to the three most recent versions of macOS. Operating systems that Apple no longer supports may not receive critical updates. We recommend that you always keep your operating system up to date.
  • On some macOS devices, you might need to grant full disk access permissions to the NinjaOne agent manually. You can do so on the endpoint at System Preferences → Security & Privacy → Privacy → Full Disk Access. Refer to NinjaOne Backup: Mac Permissions Full Disk Access for more information.
  • We do not offer native support for Advanced RISC Machine (ARM) for macOS, but we do support ARM via Rosetta using DMG or PKG files. For more information on installing Rosetta, refer to Using Intel-based apps on a Mac with Apple silicon (external link).
