# Install This section covers everything that has to be installed before you can help anyone: the Blink server (only if you run Blink on premises), its certificates, the Access agent on the computers you look after, and the support tool your customers run for a one-off session. :::tip[Using Blink in the cloud?] IZT runs the server for you, so skip the server pages. Your Blink address (for example `https://yourname.onblink.cloud`) is ready to use, and its certificates are issued and renewed for you. Start at [Check supported systems](/install/supported-systems/), then go straight to the agents. ::: ## Before you start - [Check supported systems](/install/supported-systems/): which computers Blink runs on, and what the network has to allow. ## Your Blink server (on premises only) - [Install Blink on your own server](/install/on-premises-server/): server and storage requirements, DNS name, ports, data, first start and the recovery kit. - [Set up certificates](/install/certificates/): Let's Encrypt from the console, your own certificate, and the built-in one. - [Back up and restore the server](/install/back-up-and-restore/): what to back up, and how to bring a server back on new hardware. - [Upgrade the server](/install/upgrade-the-server/): move to a new server version safely. ## Access agent (unattended computers) - [Create an enrollment key](/install/enrollment-keys/): the key that lets an agent join your organization. - [Install the Access agent on Windows](/install/access-agent-windows/): signed installer, command line for scripted rollouts, or straight from a support session. - [Deploy the Access agent with your RMM tool](/install/deploy-with-rmm/): ready-made scripts and steps for NinjaOne, Datto RMM, N-able, ConnectWise, Kaseya, Atera, Syncro, Intune, Configuration Manager, Group Policy and more, and how to switch from your old remote access tool. - [Keep agents up to date](/install/agent-updates/): how updates reach your computers and what the console shows. - [Uninstall the Access agent](/install/uninstall-the-agent/): remove it from a computer and clean up the console. ## Support tool (one-off sessions) - [Run the support tool](/install/support-tool/): what your customer downloads and runs, on Windows and Mac. - [Allow Blink on a Mac](/install/mac-permissions/): the macOS privacy settings Blink needs to see and control the screen. When everything is installed, carry on with [Configure](/configure/) or [Use Blink](/use/). If something does not work, see [Troubleshooting](/troubleshooting/) or .
