# 3. Install the agent

Hashman Agent recommends Linux with systemd, but Windows is supported with a less straightforward setup.

For best results, the Linux kernel version should be more than a few years old. Specifically, the minimum recommended kernel version is 5.6 for io\_uring support. We also require systemd at this time.

To install the agent on Linux, run the command shown in the agent creation screen. User-mode installs are also possible without sudo, but setting up a system-mode service this way is recommended.

Note: Once miners are detected, it can take up to a few hours for Hashman to learn their characteristics and to compute a mining schedule for them. Until then, Hashman will not make any changes to the miner's power settings.
