# Installing Agents in AWS Instance

## Bulk Installation of Agents in AWS Instances

The following are the steps to install agents in bulk in AWS Instances.

1. Create an S3 Bucket in the region where you want to deploy the agents.
2. In the product web console, navigate to the **Agent** tab > **Computers** > **Download Agent**.
3. Upload `Localagent.exe` to the created bucket and set the permission as public.
4. Create an IAM role for SSM.
   - In the IAM console, navigate to **Roles** > **Create Roles**.
   - In **Select type of trusted entity**, choose **AWS service**.
   - Select the service **EC2**.
   - If the specified service has only one use case, it is selected automatically. Then choose **NEXT: Permissions**.

   **Note:** Use cases are defined by the service to include the trust policy that the service requires.

   - In the **Create role** window (as shown in the figure below), search for **AmazonEC2RoleForSSM** and select it.

5. Change EC2 settings.
   - Select the existing instance.
   - Choose **Action** at the top of the screen.
   - Choose **Instance settings** and assign the created role.
6. Run the command to install the agents in AWS Instances.
   - In the AWS Systems Manager console, choose **Run Command**.
   - Run the following command:

```plaintext
New-Item -ItemType directory -Path C:\LocalOffice\localsetup
$WebClient = New-Object System.Net.WebClient
$WebClient.DownloadFile("BUCKETPATH/UEMSAgent.msi",
"C:\LocalOffice\localsetup\UEMSAgent.msi")
$WebClient.DownloadFile("BUCKETPATH/UEMSAgent.mst",
"C:\LocalOffice\localsetup\UEMSAgent.mst")
$WebClient.DownloadFile("BUCKETPATH/setup.bat",
