Native setup
This is a guide for setting up MASV Agent on the host machine. If you're interested in setting things up with Docker, see our Docker Setup Guide
Installers
We offer dedicated installers via common package managers.

Running MASV Agent
Tip
If you used one of our installers, you can skip this step because the MASV Agent server is already running in the background. The installer will configure the background service with systemd.
To start MASV Agent, you must first start the local server using:
masv server start
Parameters
When launching the MASV agent with masv server start, we can configure it using various command-line flags. See the full list here
