Before you can install an Agent, you need to configure it, as well as the Environment and Agent Group in the Frends UI. Also, if you are installing the Agent in a HA Environment the Agent needs a working connection string given to it in the settings and possibly a load balancer.
Install a Legacy Frends Agent on Windows
Download the Agent from the Environment View by clicking the download icon on the Agent
After downloading the Agent copy the Agent installer package to your chosen server and un-zip the installer package to a temporary location. It's a good practice to archive the Agent installer packaged on the server if you might want to re-install the Agent later, though you can also always download the installer from the Frends Environment View.
The un-zipped installer package should have two files: a config file and the Frends.Agent.Installer.Bundle. Double click the Frends.Agent.Installer.Bundle to start the installation.
In the installer you can set the installation location through the options menu. By default, the installer installs under C:\Program Files\HiQ Finland\FRENDS Agent.
After accepting the Terms and Conditions click the "Install" button to start the installation
If the installation was successful, you are now done! You have a working Frends Agent installed on your server and you can start deploying and executing integrations with it.
You should now be able to see the Agent appear online in the Environment View:
You are able to view the current status of the Agent and read an Event Stream from the Agent to detect or debug any issues remotely through the Frends UI.
