# Installation Guide (Old)

Hello there. If you are reading this article, this means you are ready to partake in PowerAgent testnet!

Before moving on, make sure to visit the [**Architecture**](/powerpool-and-poweragent-network/power-agent/architecture.md) page to familiarize with the key principles of the PowerAgent operation. Also, consider reading these articles:

* [PowerAgent v2: FAQs](https://medium.com/powerpool/poweragent-v2-faqs-4d3487d8c13)
* [PowerPool & DAppNode partner to bundle decentralized smart-contract automation with blockchain node infrastructure](https://medium.com/powerpool/powerpool-dappnode-partner-to-bundle-decentralized-smart-contract-automation-with-blockchain-node-ff85dea51c15)

## Installing PowerAgent as a DAppNode Package

The simplest way to launch the PowerAgent note is to install it on top of the DAppNode software. DAppNode is a platform for running various blockchain nodes and decentralized applications.

In the following pages, we will explain in detail how to:

1. [**Obtain DAppNode software**](/powerpool-and-poweragent-network/power-agent/old-pages/installation-guide-old/dappnode-installation.md).
2. [**Register your keeper in the Agent**](/powerpool-and-poweragent-network/power-agent/old-pages/installation-guide-old/registering-in-poweragent.md).
3. [**Install the PowerAgent node on it**](/powerpool-and-poweragent-network/power-agent/old-pages/installation-guide-old/installing-poweragent-package-on-dappnode.md).
4. Monitor the performance of your keeper.

## Installing as a Standalone Package

PowerAgent software is also available as a standalone client. This method is optimal if you are already a node-runner and have your own execution and consensus client. You will need to provide a reliable JSON RPC endpoint for its operation.

{% hint style="danger" %}
Currently, we cannot guarantee flawless interaction with publicly available RPC providers. Please, run your own blockchain node or follow the easy DAppNode way.
{% endhint %}

If you wish to use the standalone PowerAgent package and deploy it on your own Ethereum testnet node-equipped hardware, then proceed to the section [**Standalone Installation**](/powerpool-and-poweragent-network/power-agent/old-pages/installation-guide-old/standalone-installation.md).
