Secure Agent installation in a local environment

Install a Secure Agent in a local environment when you can't use the Hosted Agent or you're not installing an agent on AWS or Microsoft Azure.
You can install a Secure Agent in a local environment in the following ways:
On a local machine or VM running Windows
On Windows, the Secure Agent runs as a Windows service. Ensure that your Windows environment meets the Secure Agent requirements before downloading the Secure Agent installer.
On a local machine or VM running Linux
On Linux, the Secure Agent runs as a process. Ensure that your Linux environment meets the Secure Agent requirements before downloading the Secure Agent installer.
