Installation issues

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

Last updated July 17, 2026

#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.deb so 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), not http://. 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.
