Installing the Agents - Manual Installation
When installing and on-premises system manually, this is the moment to install your Agents. For more information, see Installing the Agents.
During the installation of the Automation Engine, there are three different Agent installation types available:
-
Manual agent installation, which refers to the manual installation of on-premises Agents, see Installing the Agents Manually.
-
Containerized agent installation, which refers to deploying already containerized Agents in a Kubernetes cluster, see Installing Containerized Agents.
-
Containerizing and installing your agents, which refers to building and running a Docker image hosting either a Windows, UNIX, or Java Agent in a container, see Containerizing and Installing your Agents.
Regardless of the Agent installation type you decide to implement, you can use your Agents in on-premises Automic Automation systems as well as in an Automic Automation Kubernetes Edition and in an Automic SaaS system.
After the installation, you can also install agents via the Automic Web Interface in the Process Assembly perspective of Client 0 or in the Administration perspective of any client. For more information, see Adding Agents in AWI.
