Installing Additional Agents

Info

To fully harness IncrediBuild's acceleration potential, you will need additional Agents, called Helper Agents installed on remote machines. This steps below show you how to do this.Notes:

  • After you have finished your initial setup and have a Coordinator installed on your host machine, you don't need to install the entire Enterprise Edition installation file on the remote Agents. There is a file called "install.exe", which will be located in the directory wherever you have intially installed IncrediBuild. ((C:\Program Files (x86)\Xoreax\IncrediBuild\install.exe)
  • This is suggested since you don't need PostgreSQL nor the Apache server on these remote machines, so the installation file is much smaller.


To install Helper Agents:

To install additional agents on other computers within the network, repeat the installation procedure, but connect to the previously installed Coordinator, rather than creating a new one.

  1. Download the IncrediBuild installer file.info
  2. repeat the installation procedure, but connect to the previously installed Coordinator, rather than creating a new one.
  3. This will install an IncrediBuild Agent on the machine
