Installing the Agent

Installing the Agent

Types of Agent Releases:

  1. GA (General Availability): This is the fully tested and released agent recommended by SentinelOne for general use.
  2. EA (Early Availability): This agent is still in development and may include more features than the GA version. Installing the EA agent allows SentinelOne to gather feedback for future releases (beta testing).

Tokens

To install the agent on any type of device, you will need a Site/Group token:

You can copy or regenerate both kinds of tokens.

Windows/Mac Installation

  1. Navigate to the Sentinels tab on the side menu.
  2. Select Packages from the top menu. 
  3. You will now see the most recent versions available for your platform:
    1. In the Access Level column (on the right), the location of the install and where the device will be categorized is displayed. 
  4. Ensure the Access Level is set to Global if you don't want the package assigned to a specific Group or Site.

Installing the SentinelOne Agent

You have the following installation options:
  1. Using the GUI (Graphical User Interface): Run the package locally on the device and input the Site or Group token when prompted by the installation wizard.
  2. Via a script deployed by your organization.
  3. Building it into a package: You can use the Command Line or tools like PowerShell. This method will launch the installation wizard, where you'll need to provide the appropriate token.
Install > Finish > Reboot
  1. Although SentinelOne is ready for use at this point, it’s recommended to reboot the device to ensure full functionality.
  2. The behavioral AI will only becomes operational after the reboot.
  3. In the Management Console, the endpoint status will display as Pending Reboot until the device has restarted.

Linux Installation

You can use the same steps as before. 
With Linux, be mindful of which build better suits your devices: X86 packages will not install in ARMs devices, and vice versa.
