Installing Agents

Windows

You can begin your deployment by manually installing the EXE file or running our handy PowerShell and Bash scripts which automatically check prerequisites and install the Falcon agent. You can download the installation media or scripts from the [ADD LINK HERE] app on the portal.

Anagram Deployment Scripts

Anagrams prebuilt scripts are the easiest and most reliable way to install agents because we check for prerequisites before installing and automatically prepopulate your unique account variables. Download the PowerShell script from the files app [instert link here] and run as administrator. Check the CrowdStrike console a few minutes later to ensure the agent has registered.

Copy the AnagramDeploy.ps1 script to your target machine, then run the following command line:

powershell.exe AnagramDeploy.ps1 -KEY 12345

If a particular prerequisite has failed, the script will let you know. A log file is always written to the current working directory.

(Insert examples of log file and error messages)

Manual install

If you'd prefer to deploy manually, you can download installation media from the CrowdStrike portal (Insert link and screenshots of the portal).

The install media requires some simple command line instructions. You can find your CID at the top right of the CrowdStrike portal.

CrowdStrikeLionLanner.exe -cid 12345

Linux

Anagram provides a bash script for Linux, which should automatically identify your operating system, download the correct installation media and execute the installation process, all whilst confirming the prerequisites are met. Download the script from our files app [inster link here], copy it to the target server and execute with sudo.
