Server side
Parallels Agent software is included in the Virtuozzo Tools package, which comes with Parallels Virtuozzo Containers software. Virtuozzo Tools are installed on your server by default during Virtuozzo Containers installation. If the Virtuozzo Tools package is not installed on you server, run the Virtuozzo Containers installation program again and choose the Virtuozzo Tools installation option.
When Agent is installed on your server for the first time, you will need to know the password of your system administrator (such as root
on Linux or Administrator
on Windows) in order to connect to it from your client program. System administrator is by default granted all access rights in Agent, which means that the user can execute any of the Agent API calls and access any of the Virtuozzo Containers on the Hardware Node. You can add more users with specific access rights later using Virtuozzo Tools or programmatically through Agent.
Client side
The only software that you'll need on your client machine is the development environment of your choice. No additional client software is required.
