# Deploy Anywhere

> An MDM-agnostic quickstart guide to deploying Zappl. Need more help? Follow our deeper step-by-step instructions for your specific MDM provider from our sidebar.

<Note>Don't see your MDM listed in the sidebar? As long as it supports package and custom configuration profile deployment, you can follow the steps below to get Zappl up and running.</Note>

<Warning>Before proceeding, make sure that your network can support Zappl's requirements, [documented here](/about/requirements). If Zappl cannot reach the necessary services then core product functionality will fail.</Warning>

<Steps>
  <Step title="Zappl Preferences Profile">
    This is the most important one, and must contain your **Activation Token** and **Public Key**. You should have received these upon activation of your trial/purchased license. No other keys are necessary for Zappl to function.

        This option is perfect for **Jamf Pro**. If you need support with using the Custom Schema, check out our full Jamf Pro deployment guide.

<Warning>
  Zappl is a patch management tool that actively downloads and installs software updates in the background. When deploying to **large numbers of devices on the same network**, we strongly recommend **phasing your rollout in batches** rather than deploying to your entire fleet at once. Deploying to all devices on the same network in one go will result in all outdated apps downloading updates simultaneously on the first run, which may result in significant network load.
</Warning>
