  4. Paste the script below and edit
    #!/usr/bin/env zsh
    # This will remove JAMF from macOS
    
    # Function to identify the location of the jamf binary
    CheckBinary() {
        # Identify location of jamf binary using modern command substitution
        jamf_binary=$(which jamf)
    
        # Evaluate conditions to identify the correct binary path
        if [[ -z "$jamf_binary" ]] && [[ -e "/usr/sbin/jamf" ]] && [[ ! -e "/usr/local/bin/jamf" ]]; then
            jamf_binary="/usr/sbin/jamf"
        elif [[ -z "$jamf_binary" ]] && [[ ! -e "/usr/sbin/jamf" ]] && [[ -e "/usr/local/bin/jamf" ]]; then
            jamf_binary="/usr/local/bin/jamf"
        elif [[ -z "$jamf_binary" ]] && [[ -e "/usr/sbin/jamf" ]] && [[ -e "/usr/local/bin/jamf" ]]; then
            jamf_binary="/usr/local/bin/jamf"
        fi
    
        # Error handling for missing jamf binary
