# Shell Scripts on macOS
## Shell Scripts
Shell scripts can be created to perform tasks on a macOS Computer. These scripts save time as they replace manual configuration that may be required prior to or post-installation of applications.
## Create the Shell Script and Upload it to a Web Server or FTP Location
1\. Create your shell script (If you need assistance with this, see [Need Some Assistance with Shell Scripts?](/faronicsdeploy/application-management/macos-apps/shell-scripts-on-mac-os.md#need-some-assistance-with-shell-scripts)).
2\. Upload your shell script to a **web server** or **FTP** location.
3\. Select the **Control Grid** tab on the top menu bar.
4\. Navigate to the **Applications** tab.
5\. Scroll down to the **All-Mac** grid.
6\. Click the 
button above the All-Mac grid.
7\. Select **Create Custom Mac Script** from the drop-down list.
8\. Enter a **Script Name** and **URL;** any additional **command line parameters** that you need can be set here too.
9\. Click **SAVE TO GRID**.

The Custom Script is now listed in the All-Mac grid and can be searched for using the search bar. The script can be executed on a single or a group of macOS computers.
