Installing on any OS via Docker
Prerequisites

- If you are a Windows user, please make sure Bash and curl tools are installed in your system.
Use our one-step easy installation
To proceed with the agent installation, make sure you have docker installed and running on your system. You can install docker for windows or macOS or Ubuntu.
To install an agent on a host, copy the Installation command and paste it into the command prompt. Your command will look like the following example, and it will include your API key, so you won’t need to create one.
MW_API_KEY=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx TARGET=https://uid.middleware.io:443 bash -c "$(curl -L https://install.middleware.io/scripts/docker-install.sh)"
If you are using a Windows system, you can configure the ENV variables as follows.
MW_API_KEY=xxxxxxxxxxxx TARGET=https://uid.middleware.io:443 bash -c "$(curl -L https://install.middleware.io/scripts/docker-install.sh)"
Verify the status of agent
Run the agent’s status command to verify the installation.
docker ps -a --filter ancestor=ghcr.io/middleware-labs/agent-host-go:master
A successful installation returns the status UP or Exited and in case of unsuccessful installation, the status will be blank.
