Download and Install GoToAssist Expert Desktop App (Mac)

When you download the GoToAssist Expert desktop application (so that you can host support sessions), an installation package (including the GoTo Opener application) will be downloaded onto your computer. By running this installation package and leaving the applications installed, you will be able to quickly and easily start sessions and re-install the application, if needed.

Note: These instructions apply to Mac agents only. For instructions that apply to Windows agents, please see Download and Install GoToAssist Expert Desktop App (Windows) for more information. Additionally, you can view the System Requirements for Agents.

About the installation package

The installation package includes the following components:

• GoToAssist Expert desktop application
  This is the main software that you use to host support sessions and connect to your devices (i.e., unattended support computers).
• GoTo Opener application
  This 'helper' application downloads as the GoTo Opener.dmg, then installs as the GoTo Opener application. This application is required to install and launch the GoToAssist Expert desktop application. It must be installed on your computer, even if the GoToAssist Expert application is already installed.

  Note: If you remove the GoTo Opener application at a later time, you'll need to go through the entire download process each time you start a support session from the web app. We don’t recommend that you do this if you frequently start sessions from the web.
