Installation
This section walks you through the full installation process for HuLoop IPD, including:
- Setting up the IPD Server (on a Linux machine)
- Installing the Agent (Client) on Windows devices
IPD Server Installation (Linux)
HuLoop provides a guided installation script (install.sh) that automates the deployment of the IPD backend using Docker containers.
Steps to Install the Server
- Download the Installation Bundle
Copy the provided installation package to your Linux VM (ZIP or TAR format).
scp IPD_Install_Bundle.zip user@your-ipd-server:/home/user/
- Unpack the Bundle
unzip IPD_Install_Bundle.zip
cd IPD_Install_Bundle
- Make the Install Script Executable
chmod +x install.sh
- Run the Installation Script
Execute the install script and follow the on-screen prompts.
./install.sh
During the script execution, you’ll be asked to enter:
- Server hostname (e.g., ipd.company.com)
- Instance name (e.g., chainbridge-ipd)
- SSL certificate path and password
- Docker proxy settings (if required)
- Whether to enable monitoring, backups, or anonymizer modules
Press Enter to accept default options unless you are using a custom configuration.
Agent Installation (Windows)
There are two ways to install the agent:
- Manual installation for a small number of devices
Automated deployment using SCCM or Intune (see HuLoop IPD – Server and Agent Deployment Guide for IT Administrators.)
Manual Agent Installation Steps
- Double-Click the Installer
Run the HuLoop Agent .msi file on the target desktop. - Enter the IPD Server URL
Example: https://ipd.customer.com - Complete the Setup Wizard
Click through the prompts and finish the installation. - Agent Starts Automatically
After a few minutes, the agent service will begin collecting data.
You can verify installation by checking for the green HuLoop icon in the system tray.
Deployment Notes
- Use SCCM or Intune for larger rollouts (refer to the Guide: HuLoop IPD – Server and Agent Deployment Guide for IT Administrators)
- Ensure the Windows device has local admin rights to install the agent.
- If deploying via command line, use this silent install command:
msiexec /i “KypMsi_Discovery.msi” /quiet SERVERURL=”https://ipd.customer.com/engine”
