The Workstation Agent runs on end-user machines. It collects application process data and sends it to the OpenLM Platform through the [Agents Hub](https://openlm.com/documentation/cloud/data-collection/agents_hub).

## Before you begin

- Verify that the target machines meet the [system requirements](https://openlm.com/documentation/cloud/deployment-operations/system-requirements).
- Confirm you have the [authorization file](https://openlm.com/documentation/cloud/getting-started/authorize-components) for the Workstation Agent. You can use one file per machine or a shared file, depending on your deployment strategy.
- Confirm that the machines have internet access (port 443).

## Installation steps

    Download the Workstation Agent installer for your platform from the [Downloads page](https://www.openlm.com/downloads/).

  
    Run the installer on the end-user machine. Follow the on-screen prompts.

  
    Upload the authorization file generated in the [Authorize components](https://openlm.com/documentation/cloud/getting-started/authorize-components) step.

  
    After installation, the agent connects to the OpenLM Platform automatically. Navigate to the **Agents Hub** and confirm the agent appears.
