To install StrongDM with the full version (EXE), follow these steps.
- Locate the downloaded EXE file (SDM-<VERSION_NUMBER>.exe), which is typically in your Downloads folder.
- Right-click on the installer and select Run as Administrator. A dialog box appears.
- Follow the instructions to run the installation.
To install StrongDM from the Command Prompt, run the EXE installer as in the example shown.
SDM-21.58.0.exe
When run as administrator, the EXE installs the StrongDM Virtual Network Adapter, which enables you to access Virtual Networking Mode resources that may be available to you. If you want to install the desktop app without the adapter, don’t run it as administrator.
That’s it! You’ve installed StrongDM. Go ahead and try a connection!
