# Install Nightfall AI Agent for Windows OS

Nightfall for Windows OS allows you to detect exfiltration events on your Windows OS devices. The Nightfall exfiltration feature can monitor any files being uploaded through supported cloud storage apps or browsers on Windows OS devices. 

To use Nightfall for macOS, you must install the Nightfall AI agent. This agent monitors your Windows OS device continuously.  You can install the agent either manually or through a Mobile device management (MDM) tool. You can request the Nightfall deployment bundle which contains the data required for your MDM deployment.

At this time the Nightfall AI Endpoint Agent does **not** support the ARM processor architecture.  However, ARM compatibility is being prioritized in a future release.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="danger" %}
**If you manage Chrome extensions via Google Workspace Admin Console**

See these [steps](https://help.nightfall.ai/data-exfiltration-prevention/exfiltration_endpoint/install-nightfall-ai-extension-via-google-workspace-admin) first.  Otherwise, the Nightfall extension may not connect properly.

*Not sure if this applies to you?* If your IT team uses Google Workspace (Google Admin Console) to manage which Chrome extensions are force-installed on employee machines, this applies to you.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.nightfall.ai/data-exfiltration-prevention/exfiltration_endpoint/install-nightfall-ai-agent-for-windows-os.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
