You can install the Couchdrop Windows Agent on a server without using the graphical interface.
This process involves configuring the Couchdrop Cloud Connector on a workstation first, copying its configuration to the server, installing the agent silently, and then running it as a Windows service.

First, install and configure the Couchdrop Agent on a workstation where you can use the graphical interface.
For configuration instructions, see the Windows / Mac File Server guide.
Once the agent is installed and connected, browse to:
C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\CouchdropCloudConnectorCopy the following to a location that you can access from the target server:
configuration.confThe Couchdrop Cloud Connector installer
Once these files have been copied, you can uninstall the agent from the workstation if it is no longer required there.
Set up the agent on the server

See Running the Couchdrop Agent as a Service for the full service configuration instructions.
You do not need to install the agent again. Continue from the section that instructs you to run:
