Setup: Windows

This guide covers setting up MASV Agent on a Windows host machine. If you prefer to use Docker instead, see the Docker setup guide.

Installation

Windows agent installation is available via Chocolatey. Run the following in an elevated PowerShell prompt:

choco source add --name=MASV --source=https://dl.massive.io/agent/choco/index.json
choco install masv-agent

Running MASV Agent

Package installation configures a Windows system service named masv-agent. This service is set to automatically start the MASV Agent background server after system startup using the command masv server start.

Note

The Windows background service is configured as Automatic (Delayed Start). It can take a couple of minutes after system boot before the background service starts.
