Installing the Agent

Installing the Agent

Types of Agent Releases:

  1. GA (General Availability): This is the fully tested and released Agent version recommended for production environments.
  2. EA (Early Availability): This Agent version may include new features that are still being validated. EA releases are intended for testing and feedback purposes before becoming generally available.

Before You Begin

Before installing the Agent, make sure you have:
  1. Administrator permissions on the device.
  2. The latest Agent installation package downloaded from the SentinelOne Management Console.
  3. A valid Site Token or Group Token.
  4. An active Site or Group assigned to the token you plan to use.
Notes
For Windows Agent version 22.1 and later, SentinelOne recommends using the SentinelOneInstaller package.

Tokens

A Site Token or Group Token is required to register an endpoint during installation.

Site Token

A Site Token registers the endpoint to a Site and places it in that Site’s default group.

Group Token

A Group Token registers the endpoint directly to a specific Group within a Site.
Info
You can copy or regenerate both Site and Group Tokens from the SentinelOne Management Console.

Windows/Mac Installation

  1. Navigate to the Sentinels tab on the side menu.
  2. Select Packages from the top menu. 
  3. Download the latest Agent package for your operating system.
  4. You will see the available packages and their assigned Access Levels.
  5. Ensure the package Access Level includes the Site where the endpoint will be deployed.

Installing the SentinelOne Agent

You can install the Agent using one of the following methods:
  1. Installation Wizard (GUI)
  2. Command Line
  3. PowerShell
  4. Deployment tools such as GPO, SCCM, or Tanium

Installation Wizard (GUI)

  1. Run the installation package on the endpoint.
  2. Follow the installation wizard.
  3. Enter the Site Token or Group Token when prompted.
  4. Complete the installation.

Deployment Tools or Scripts

Organizations can deploy the Agent through their preferred software deployment solution or scripting method.
When using automated deployments, ensure the correct Site or Group Token is provided during installation.

Complete the Installation

Once the installation finishes:
  1. Click Finish.
  2. If prompted, restart the endpoint.
Depending on the Agent version and configuration, a reboot may be required to enable all Agent capabilities. The endpoint may continue operating normally even if an immediate restart is not required.

Verify the Installation

After installation:
  1. Open the SentinelOne Management Console.
  2. Navigate to the Endpoints page.
  3. Confirm the endpoint appears in the expected Site or Group.
  4. Verify the endpoint status is Active.
If the endpoint does not appear in the console, verify that the correct Site or Group Token was used during installation.

Linux Installation

The installation process is similar to Windows and macOS.
When selecting a Linux package, ensure you download the version that matches your device architecture:
  1. x86/x64 packages for Intel and AMD-based systems.
  2. ARM packages for ARM-based devices.
Packages designed for one architecture cannot be installed on another.
