Configure Server and Agent on Windows

Install the BuildNinja Server and Agent on Windows using the unified installer. The unified installer provides a guided setup experience and allows you to install:

  • Both the Server and the Agent
  • Only the Server
  • Only the Agent

By default, the installer also installs MongoDB locally if it is not already present on the system where the Server is being installed. If you provide a MongoDB URL that points to a remote MongoDB instance, the installer does not install MongoDB on either the local system or the remote host.

The installer also allows you to customize the installation directory, enabling you to choose a location that best fits your system layout or organizational standards.
