This topic contains instructions for OS-based client deployments. Hydden recommends installing the client services locally vs. just running the service, although that is an option, just not recommended for continuous monitoring and performance.

Once a client is installed based on the deployment information below, it will automatically be updated when new client packages are released.

Package names:

• hydn-[version]-[OS(-flavor)]-[architecture]

Where:

• [version], is a number string, for example, 0.5.639 based on a recent build.
• [OS(-flavor)], can be Linux, Windows, OSx (coming soon) with flavor and version information, like ubuntu22.04 or rhel8, for example.
• [architecture], references the system chip information, for example, amd64.

Hydden uses port 22101 as the default Bootstrap port.

Windows Client Deployment

1. As an administrator, open a cmd prompt window on a networked system.

2. Run the package installation:

      C:\Users\administrator>C:\Users\administrator\Desktop\hydn-1.0.114-windows-amd64.exe

      root@US-Bunty1:/mnt/dc01# hydn-0.5.639-linux-ubuntu22.04-amd64
   

   A successful installation and registration is confirmed with the following messages:
