Installation issues
When setup fails, the console won't open, or services don't appear after installing.

#Setup fails or services don't appear
- Run elevated. On Windows, install with Run as administrator; on Linux, use
sudo. Setup needs those rights to register services. - Linux dependencies. Install with
sudo apt install ./fileagent_<version>_amd64.debso dependencies resolve automatically. - Reboot and recheck. After install, the FileAgent services should be running and set to start automatically.
#The console won't open after install
- Use HTTPS. Open
https://localhost(or your host name/IP), nothttp://. The console is HTTPS only. - Check the port. If you set a custom port, include it:
https://localhost:<port>. - Expect a certificate warning on a fresh install until you install a trusted certificate (see Login & certificate issues).
#Still stuck?
If services won't start at all, continue to Service won't start.
