Netdata Windows Installer
Netdata offers a convenient Windows installer for easy setup. This executable provides two distinct installation modes, outlined below.
Download the MSI Installer
You can download the Netdata Windows installer (MSI) from the official releases page:
| Version | Description |
|---|---|
| Stable | This is the recommended version for most users as it provides the most reliable and well-tested features. |
| Nightly | Offers the latest features but may contain bugs or instabilities. Use this option if you require access to the newest features and are comfortable with potential issues. |
Note
The Windows version of Netdata is intended for users on paid plans.
Silent Mode (Command line)
This section provides instructions for installing Netdata in silent mode, which is ideal for automated deployments.
Info
Run the installer as admin to avoid the Windows prompt.
Using silent mode implicitly accepts the terms of the GPL-3 (Netdata Agent) and NCUL1 (Netdata Web Interface) licenses, skipping the display of agreements.
