h3. Installation Steps

# Make sure QuickBuild server is up and running, login to QuickBuild using your own account (the account who wants to run user agent on his/her desktop), and navigate to _My_ tab, click the the link _download user agent_ to download user agent of desired platform. Please note that *this link will not be available* if the account do not have [permission to run user agent|Other Permissions#allow user agent]. Extract downloaded file into the directory where the user agent should be installed.
# Make sure you have JDK5 or JDK6 installed. For Sun JDK5, QuickBuild requires at least update 11. Download the appropriate JDK version from [http://java.sun.com] if needed.
# Make sure the _java_ command exists in the system path; if not, you will need to modify the file _conf/wrapper.conf_ under the build agent's installation directory, and point the entry _wrapper.java.command_ to path of the java command.
# For Windows platform, run _bin/agent.bat_ to start the agent; for Unix platforms, run command _bin/agent.sh console_ to start the agent. Please note:
#* Make sure the user running the command has *full access rights* to the agent's installation directory.
#* This command runs the user agent in console mode. Follow [this guide|Install As System Service] on how to install the agent as system service so that it auto-starts when machine reboots.
#* By default, the user agent will run on port 8821. If this port is used by other process, you can change the port number to an unused port by running command _config.bat_ (for Windows), or _config.sh_ (for Unix).
# If user agent starts and connects to server correctly, you will see _My Agent_ tab is displaying information of the user agent by logging to QuickBuild using your account:
