Once you have selected your platform, you will be shown a list of steps and, depending on your platform, you can download the Loome agent installer.

The first step in all platforms is to have a managed identity configured for your virtual machine.

Step 1: Create a Managed Identity

Agent managed identity roles

As shown in the image above, you will need to add the two role assignments Resource Policy Contributor and Contributor.

Once those have been added, for Windows and Linux you will then need to download your agent.

Installation Locations

Loome agents are installed in a standard directory, based on a unique ID. All agent installs can be found in %ProgramData%\LoomeAgent on Windows and /.loomeagent/ on Linux. There is no need to take note of this directory when updating the agent, as the install script will automatically detect if an agent is installed for the related tenant.
