Download the app from the app store and deploy it using images, software distribution, whatever you like. Just make sure you have enough licenses.
Which ist no longer that big of a problem since GarageBand comes free with new Macs….
The problem however is, that Garageband 10.x wants to download additional stuff when GarageBand ist started the first time.
This is an issue and annoying because
a) it is 1.4 GB and is not using the local software update or caching server
b) non-administrators are not able to install this package.
When started GarageBand begins to downloads this:
http://audiocontentdownload.apple.com/lp10_ms3_content_2013/MAContent10_GarageBandCoreContent.pkg
That means, if you download this package, you can deploy it right along with GarageBand.
Enjoy.
Update:
With Garageband 10.0.2 there seems to be some additional content available.
It downloads this plist: http://audiocontentdownload.apple.com/lp10_ms3_content_2013/garageband1002_en.plist?app=GarageBand&ver=10.0.2&country=CH&language=de&o If you examine this plist, you can find out, which packages are installed. Garageband downloads and installs these packages:

I feel like MAContent10_GarageBandCoreContent.pkg isn't quite enough. I've distributed this package and users are still prompted for admin creds. It appears GarageBand wants to download additional loops and other things. I can't seem to pin down exactly everything it needs to stop bothering users.
Nope. As far as I can tell, this is it.
But, I think there was something else for the older versions of GarageBand. This image only accounts for the version 10.
Can you provide the links for Garageband it's the 14GB additional content I need the direct links for these. Thanks
