# Installing

Use this page to choose the right installation path for your operating system, mobile platform, or Cisco device.

{% hint style="info" %}
If you reached this page from an older Endpoint Agent installation link, choose your platform below for the current guidance.
{% endhint %}

## Before You Begin

* Confirm the device meets the requirements for your platform: [Windows](/product-documentation/global-vantage-points/endpoint-agents/installing/windows/install-the-endpoint-agent-on-windows.md#system-requirements), [macOS](/product-documentation/global-vantage-points/endpoint-agents/installing/macos/install-the-endpoint-agent-on-macos.md#system-requirements), [Android](/product-documentation/global-vantage-points/endpoint-agents/installing/mobile-endpoint-agent/android/system-requirements.md), or [ChromeOS](/product-documentation/global-vantage-points/endpoint-agents/installing/mobile-endpoint-agent/chromeos/system-requirements.md).
* Make sure your account has enough [Endpoint Agent licenses](/product-documentation/global-vantage-points/endpoint-agents/how-endpoint-agents-work/endpoint-agent-licensing.md).
* Get the connection string from **Endpoint Experience > Agent Settings > Add New Endpoint Agent**. For details, see [Connection String](/product-documentation/global-vantage-points/endpoint-agents/installing/windows/endpoint-agent-installation-reference.md#connection-string).
* For managed deployments, involve the teams that manage software distribution, endpoint security, VPNs, proxies, and device management.
