Brigadier fetches and installs Boot Camp ESD files from Apple or a software update server using a Python script.
About DL Script
Brigadier is an open-source Python script that fetches Boot Camp ESD (Electronic Software Distribution) files for a specific Mac model. It can download from Apple or from a software update server, and it runs on Windows and OS X.
The script unpacks the multiple layers of archives inside the flat package. On Windows, it uses 7-Zip for extraction and can run the 64-bit MSI installer when used with the --install option. It was designed to help get the correct driver package for a given model without manual steps or maintaining multiple system images.
It suits people who manage Boot Camp Windows deployments on Macs, especially as a post-imaging step. Use requires network connectivity, so a network driver must already be available on the system.
