Idemeum agent can be automatically updated when the new version is released. The update is silent and does not require restarts. 

## Manual control agent update

You can also update agent manually by executing the same [installation script](/desktop-agent/agent-install) from the admin portal. Get the install script for Windows or macOS and deploy directly or with your [deployment tool](/integrations). The script will identify that idemeum agent is already installed, and it will pull the update if available.
