APP-15641

Includes instructions on how to view local logs in the install.sh script. MacOS viam-agent users, in particular, did not know how to view local logs. Forthcoming app and docs PRs should help, too.

MacOS new output:

...
2026-03-18T17:51:51.169Z        INFO    viam-agent      agent/agent.go:133      Install complete.



Viam Agent has been installed and started successfully.
You may return to your machine at https://app.viam.com/ to continue configuring.


Local logs are viewable at the following path: /var/log/viam-agent.log
Use 'less', 'cat', 'tail', etc. to view them
Logs are also viewable through the Console MacOS app under 'Log Reports'

Linux new output:

...
2026-03-18T17:51:51.169Z        INFO    viam-agent      agent/agent.go:133      Install complete.



Viam Agent has been installed and started successfully.
You may return to your machine at https://app.viam.com/ to continue configuring.


Local logs are viewable through 'journalctl -u viam-agent' or 'systemctl status viam-agent'
