# 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.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.thousandeyes.com/product-documentation/global-vantage-points/endpoint-agents/installing.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
