Ensure that each computer where you are installing an agent has a supported version of the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) or Java Development Kit (JDK). For more information, see System requirements.
If the target computer has an IBM JRE or JDK, update to a supported version of the IBM JRE or JDK.
You can install an agent by specifying its target location or install an agent that was previously discovered with the agent discovery feature. You can install several agents simultaneously, and, by using agent installation property sheets, ensure that all agents share basic parameters.
You can install agents only on computers that are running Linux, UNIX, Windows, or Mac OS. For other systems, including z/OS® and IBM i, see Installing agents from the command line.
If you use mutual authentication, you must manually exchange a key between the agent and the server. For more information about this option, see Configuring mutual authentication.
