# Deploying Trellix Agent 5.8.x using installation package on Windows

You can manually install Trellix Agent 5.8.x on Windows by creating an Agent installation package from the ePO - On-prem console. If you want the endpoint users (with local administrator rights) to install Trellix Agent on their own systems, distribute the installation package file to them through email or shared network.

1. On the ePO - On-prem console, select Menu → Systems → System Tree, then select **New Systems**.
2. Select **Create and download agent installation package**.
3. Select the appropriate Agent version for Windows from the list.
4. Deselect **Embed Credentials in Package** checkbox to receive the default package.

You can specify the embedded credentials only for Agent Embedded package for Windows.
5. Assign the appropriate **Agent Handler** to communicate with ePO - On-prem server for deployment:

  - **All Agent Handlers**: All Agent Handlers can communicate with ePO - On-prem server.
  - **Select Agent Handler**: Select a specific Agent Handler from the list that you prefer to communicate with ePO - On-prem server.

Additionally, you can select one more Agent Handler from **Secondary Agent Handler** if the agents are unable to communicate with the primary Agent Handler.
6. Click **OK**.

The installation package file `FramePkg.exe` is created.
7. Right-click and save the file.
8. Copy the installation package file from the ePO - On-prem console to a shared folder on a network server accessible by the endpoint user.
9. Right-click the file and select **Run as administrator**.
10. Click **OK** to complete the installation.

Trellix Agent is installed. It connects to the ePO - On-prem server and displays a new system in the **Lost & Found** group of **System Tree** in ePO - On-prem. You can then move the system to a required group.
