Installation and Setup

Once you have created an account with TestProject you just need to follow a few simple steps to get setup and ready for testing.  TestProject works on almost any platform, with the install of a single agent.
The first thing you will need to do is login to the TestProject app. Once you have done that you can go to the agents tab at the top of the page and click on the link for the platform you are on to download the agent executable or go to Agent Download. Once that download has finished you can use it to install the TestProject agent on your machine.
After that, there is only one step left. You need to register your agent with the TestProject app so that you can use it to create and run tests. In order to do that, the agent needs to be running on your local machine. You can start it up by finding the installed TestProjectAgent executable on your machine and running that.
Starting TestProject Agent

On Windows, the easiest way to run the agent is just to search for TestProject in the Windows search bar and clicking on the Agent to start it.

You will be prompted to give your agent an alias. Put something meaningful in here like "Joe Smith's Windows laptop" as it is possible to share agents with other team members. Once you have done that you just need to click on the register button to automatically register your agent with the TestProject application, and you are ready to start using TestProject!
Register via CLI - Remote registration 
This method can be used for remote agent registration.
To register your agent to an account using a CLI on any machine you will need to generate an API key.
Note: the API key will determine to which account this agent will register to. 
For Linux
Once you have your API key head over to the terminal and make sure your agent is running.
You can verify it here.
Now to register your agent use this command:
1
./testproject-agent register -a agentName -t Your_API_Key
Copied!
It should look like this:
