ICE Agent Requirements
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.
