Install or reinstall the CodeDeploy agent for Windows Server
On Windows Server instances, you can use one of these methods to download and install the CodeDeploy agent:
-
Run a series of Windows PowerShell commands.
-
Choose a direct download link.
-
Run an Amazon S3 copy command.
Note
On both new and existing instances, we recommend installing the CodeDeploy agent updater for Windows Server. The updater checks periodically for new versions of the agent and installs it when a new version is available. On new instances, you can install the updater instead of the agent, and the current version of the agent will be installed immediately after the updater. For more information, see Update the CodeDeploy Agent on Windows Server.
Use Windows PowerShell
Sign in to the instance, and run the following commands in Windows PowerShell:
-
Require that all scripts and configuration files downloaded from the Internet be signed by a trusted publisher. If you are prompted to change the execution policy, type "
Y."Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -
Load the AWS Tools for Windows PowerShell.
Import-Module AWSPowerShell -
Create a directory into where the CodeDeploy agent installation file is downloaded.
New-Item -Path "c:\temp" -ItemType "directory" -Force -
Download the CodeDeploy agent installation file.
powershell.exe -Command Read-S3Object -BucketNamebucket-name-Key latest/codedeploy-agent.msi -File c:\temp\codedeploy-agent.msibucket-nameis the name of the Amazon S3 bucket that contains the CodeDeploy Resource Kit files for your region. For example, for the US East (Ohio) Region, replacebucket-namewithaws-codedeploy-us-east-2. For a list of bucket names, see Resource Kit Bucket Names by Region. -
Run the CodeDeploy agent installation file.
c:\temp\codedeploy-agent.msi /quiet /l c:\temp\host-agent-install-log.txt
To check that the service is running, run the following command:
powershell.exe -Command Get-Service -Name codedeployagent
If the CodeDeploy agent was just installed and has not been started, then after running
the Get-Service command, under Status, you should
see Start...:
Status Name DisplayName ------ ---- ----------- Start... codedeployagent CodeDeploy Host Agent Service
If the CodeDeploy agent is already running, after running the
Get-Service command, under Status, you should
see Running:
Status Name DisplayName ------ ---- ----------- Running codedeployagent CodeDeploy Host Agent Service
Use a Direct Link
If the browser security settings on the Windows Server instance
provide the permissions (for example, to http://*.s3.amazonaws.com), you can
use a direct link for your region to download the CodeDeploy agent and then run the
installer
manually.
Use an Amazon S3 Copy Command
If the AWS CLI is installed on the instance, you can use the Amazon S3 cp command to download the CodeDeploy agent and then run the installer manually. For information, see Install the AWS Command Line Interface on Microsoft Windows.
