# Silent Install for Windows Client using Command Line Parameters

## Deploying the Windows Client with Command Line Parameters

The Windows Client provides a mechanism to automate installation via the command line for administrative installations. This information could be used by administrators to create a Command-Line script that is run during user login on machines the client should be installed on.

1. Obtain access to the [Windows Client Installer](https://identityautomation.force.com/support/s/rapididentityproductdownloads).
2. Open the command prompt as an admin user on the Windows 10 machine.
3. Run the following command:  
**msiexec.exe /i "RapidIdentity Client for Windows.msi" /quiet /passive APIKEY="%API_KEY% SERVER_URL="%SERVER_URL%"**

  - **Note:** Once the command has been run, the installation process starts in the background. However, it can be tracked in Task Manager if desired.![](https://cdn.document360.io/4d958006-b877-42af-8de5-00e3bb7fe41d/Images/Documentation/silent-install-for-windows-client-with-command-line-parameters-image-3k8l0qha.png)
4. The Windows Client should proceed to install and should be present on the appropriate machines upon completion.
