# Install Remote Desktop Manager using Chocolatey

Install Chocolatey on Windows and use the choco command to install Remote Desktop Manager with a single PowerShell command.

Installing Remote Desktop Manager can be streamlined using Chocolatey, a package manager for Windows. Begin by installing Chocolatey; if you already have Chocolatey installed, you can proceed directly to the Remote Desktop Manager installation steps.

### Install Chocolatey

#### Prerequisites

To install Chocolatey, ensure your system meets the following requirements:

* **Operating system**: Windows 7 or later / Windows Server 2003 or later
* **PowerShell**: Version 2 or later
* **.NET Framework**: Version 4 or later

{% hint style="info" %}
The installation process will automatically attempt to install .NET Framework 4.0 if it is not already present on your system.
{% endhint %}

#### Installation steps

1. Open PowerShell as an administrator. To do so, you can press <kbd>Windows</kbd>+<kbd>X</kbd> and select ***Terminal (Admin)***.
2. Copy and paste the following installation command into the PowerShell window and press <kbd>Enter</kbd>:

   ```powershell
   Set-ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Scope Process -Force; [System.Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = [System.Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol -bor 3072; iex ((New-Object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadString('https://chocolatey.org/install.ps1'))
   ```
3. After the command completes, verify the installation by running the `choco` command. If Chocolatey is installed correctly, you should see the Chocolatey version.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.devolutions.net/rdm/knowledge-base/how-to-articles/install-remote-desktop-manager-using-chocolatey.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
