# 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.

**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.
