Access Manager Agent (AMA) Operating System Support

The Lithnet Access Manager agent is supported on Windows, macOS, and Linux. Each operating system family has slightly different requirements.

Windows requirements

Dependencies

The agent requires the installation of .NET Framework 4.7.2 or later if it is not already installed as part of the OS for x86 and x64 installations. For arm64 installations, .NET 6.0 is required.

The agent runs on .NET 6.0 and should work on any Linux distribution supported by Microsoft for these platforms.

Lithnet provides packages for RPM and Debian-based distributions, as well as tar.gz file for use with others.
