# How do I install the Enginsight Pulsar on Windows systems without using PowerShell?

The standard installation of the Enginsight agent Pulsar on a Windows host is performed using a PowerShell script. If you cannot use PowerShell, there is another option for installing the Pulsar manually.

Follow these steps:

### Download the Pulsar installer

Download the Pulsar installer manually using your default browser:

```
https://<DomainAPI>/v1/_/pulsar/latest/ngs-pulsar-amd64-setup.exe
```

{% hint style="info" %}
Remember to replace `<DomainAPI>` with the domain of the Enginsight API.
{% endhint %}
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Place the Pulsar installer in a Windows share

Place the downloaded setup file `ngs-pulsar-amd64-setup.exe` in a Windows share.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Copy the standard Pulsar installation script

1. Log in to the Enginsight platform.
2. Follow steps 1 - 3 in the [standard Pulsar installation guide](https://docs.enginsight.com/docs/manual/english/installation-und-konfiguration/installation-and-configuration/enginsight-components/pulsar) as described in the Enginsight Manual.
3. Copy the script shown in the Enginsight platform by clicking **Copy to clipboard**.
   {% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Adjust the Pulsar installer and start the installation

1. Navigate to the Windows host on which you want to install the Pulsar.
2. Open the **Command Prompt** (CMD) on your Windows system by pressing the **Windows** key + **R** and entering *cmd*.
3. Paste the script into the CMD.
4. Delete the first four lines of the script until only the following remains:

<pre><code><strong>"$env:TEMP\ngs-pulsar-setup.exe"                   `
</strong>  -acceptEula=true -interactive=false -license *** `
  -accessKeyId ***              `
  -accessKeySecret ***  `
  -api ***
</code></pre>

5. Adjust the highlighted line as follows and replace the placeholder `<DirectoryPathWindowsShare>` with the path to the directory where the Pulsar installer is located:

<pre><code><strong>"&#x3C;DirectoryPathWindowsShare>\ngs-pulsar-setup.exe"
</strong>  -acceptEula=true -interactive=false -license *** `
  -accessKeyId ***              `
  -accessKeySecret ***  `
  -api ***
</code></pre>

6. Press the **Enter** key to run the installation.

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Please note**: You need administrator rights to run the script.
{% endhint %}
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Check if the installation was successful

Navigate back to the Enginsight platform and check whether the new Windows host is displayed under **Hosts** → **Overview**.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}
