The following requirements apply the installation of an ICE Agent.

Windows
When installing ICE Agent on Microsoft Windows PCs, it is required that the Visual C++ redistributable package is installed and it is recommended, but not required, that OpenSSL and GnuPG are also installed on the host.

► Required: ICE Agent requires the Microsoft Visual C++ redistributable package to run. Download and install the package from the address listed below based on the architecture of your host platform:

 ARM64: https://aka.ms/vs/17/release/vc_redist.arm64.exe

 X86: https://aka.ms/vs/17/release/vc_redist.x86.exe

 X64: https://aka.ms/vs/17/release/vc_redist.x64.exe

► Recommend: OpenSSL. Install using the Chocolatey package manager with the command choco install openssl

► Recommend: GnuPG (“gpg”). Install using the Chocolatey package manager with the command choco install gpg4win

Linux and macOS
When installing ICE Agent on Linux or macOS, no additional software is required, but OpenSSL and GnuPG are recommended.

► Recommend: OpenSSL. On macOS, install using the Homebrew package manager with the command brew install openssl. On Linux, use the native package manager, for example: sudo apt install openssl.

► Recommend: GnuPG (“gpg”). On macOS, install using the Homebrew package manager with the command brew install gnupg. On Linux, use the native package manager, for example: sudo apt install gnupg.
