# Deployment Settings

The Download Components section provides download links and configuration files for different types of installations. Mainly, there are two types of component deployments available for end-users. Agents and Outlook Add-ins. Agents are used for system-level operations like compliance checks DNS traffic filtering, and client traffic blocking. On the other hand, Outlook Add-in deployment is used for reporting suspicious e-mails from users to prevent phishing attacks.

Also Portal has support on Linux and macOS. The Installation is explained under the "Getting Started" guide. The deployment steps are similar but there are some minor differences which are explained in the guideline.

### **Installation Management**

* **Microsoft Windows Agent**:  Users can download the agent package manager installer for the Windows-based system by clicking the download button. Once installation and configuration are completed, the threat protection module is started automatically.

You can install an agent with .exe format without requiring user interaction. To install the .exe agent silently, use the silent flag on the command line like below:

***`C:\"Path to Installer executable"  --silent`***

&#x20;The agent with .msi format should be installed with command that provided under the "Command to Install MSI Package" section.
{% endhint %}

* **Linux Agent:** Users can get the installation command by clicking the "Download Service Installer" button. Copy and paste the installation command on the Linux terminal, and the machine information will appear on the portal.

* **Outlook Add-in Installers**: Outlook E-mail security add-in can be installed independently of the platform by using the Office.js type of add-in. It can be installed on the mail server by simply providing an installation URL (copy) or installation XML file (download). Please click [here](broken://pages/-MIdAiqBF4LLAkSexIOm) for detailed installation instructions. Also, COM-based add-in is available for Windows platforms only. To install a COM-based add-in, download the package manager and install it on client machines. According to your activation settings, the COM add-in package manager automatically activates/updates/removes add-ins from users' devices.

You can install add-ins without requiring user interaction. To install the add-in silently, use the silent flag on the command line like the below:

***`C:\"Path to Installer executable"  --silent`***
{% endhint %}

### **Manuel Deployments**

This section allows users to deploy agents manually. The users can define the specific device, the agent, and version. In the portal, users can scan the IP range with the Sensor component and assign credentials to the machines.
