This page describes how to manually install the Database Agent. You can alternatively follow the steps in the Download & Install Wizard, which you can access from the Home page in the Controller UI. The wizard simplifies the install process.

To avoid permission issues, you should install the Database Agent as the same user who will run the agent, or as an administrator on the host machine. To run the Database Agent, you must have write privileges to the logging output directory and to the conf directory, which are located in the agent installation directory.
