# Installing on Windows

Install a PingAccess agent on a Windows system.

## Before you begin

This procedure makes the following assumptions:

* The Apache configuration directory is `C:/apache24/conf`.

* The Apache modules directory is `C:/apache24/modules`.

For custom installations:

* Modify the configuration and module paths below as needed.

* To modify the values for Apache's configuration and module directories, edit the included `paa.conf` file.

## Steps

1. Download and extract `pingaccess-agent-apache<version>.zip`.

2. Go to the `pingaccess-agent-apache<version>` directory.

3. Copy the `paa.conf` file into the Apache configuration directory.

4. Add the following to Apache's `httpd.conf` file.

   ```
   Include conf/paa.conf
   ```

5. Copy the `paa` folder into the Apache modules directory.

6. In the PingAccess console, go to **Applications > Agents**.

7. Edit a configured agent.

   If the agent has not yet been created, see [Adding agents](../pingaccess_user_interface_reference_guide/pa_adding_agents.html).

8. In the shared secret, click **Download** to download the configuration.

   The configuration file is named `<agentname>_agent.properties`.

9. On the Agent system, create the `C:/apache24/conf.d` folder if it does not exist.

10. Copy the `<agentname>_agent.properties` file to `C:/apache24/conf.d/agent.properties`.

11. Restart Apache.
