# Windows

> Install Turen on Windows

## Requirements

* Windows 11 (amd64 or arm64)
* [Claude Code](https://docs.anthropic.com/en/docs/claude-code) installed
* Administrator access (for installation)

## Install

Download the Turen agent installer (`.msi`) from the **Downloads** section of your [Turen dashboard](https://dashboard.turen.io). Pick `Turen-Agent-v<version>-amd64.msi` on Intel/AMD machines or `-arm64.msi` on arm64 devices. You'll need a registration key: generate one from **Agent Settings > Registration Keys** before starting.

Double-click the MSI and follow the prompts. You'll be asked to enter your registration key during installation.

The installer will:

* Install `turen-watchdog`, `turen-proxy`, `turen-pkg`, and `turen-batou` to `%ProgramFiles%\Turen`
* Register the machine with your Turen organization
* Configure Claude Code automatically (environment variables and hooks for both Bash and PowerShell)
* Register `turen-watchdog` as a Windows Service that starts on boot

Once complete, open a new terminal (Windows Terminal, PowerShell, or `cmd.exe`) and use Claude Code as normal:

```bash theme={null}
claude
```

No manual configuration is needed.

## Managing the Agent

Run from an elevated PowerShell (Run as administrator):

```powershell theme={null}
# Check agent status
turen-watchdog status

# Stop the agent
Stop-Service turen-watchdog

# Start the agent
Start-Service turen-watchdog

# View agent logs
Get-Content "$env:ProgramData\Turen\logs\watchdog.log" -Tail 200
```

## Uninstall

Uninstall via **Settings > Apps > Installed apps > Turen Agent**, or from an elevated PowerShell:

```powershell theme={null}
turen-watchdog uninstall --purge
```

`--purge` removes binaries, state, the Windows Service registration, and the Start Menu shortcut.
