# Install Remote Desktop Manager using Chocolatey

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.
