Before proceeding with the installation, please ensure that you have reviewed the hardware and software requirements, as well as the port configurations, from the corresponding documentation section. This is essential to avoid any issues during or after installation, particularly when setting up an on-premises Mate Agent.
Introduction
The Mate Agent is a crucial component responsible for executing automation tasks in the background without the need for user intervention. This document serves as a comprehensive guide for the installation of the Mate Agent on an on-premises server, along with the necessary port configurations to ensure secure and efficient communication within the Autom Mate ecosystem.

Post-Installation Configuration
Adding Paths to Environment Variables
In some cases, the necessary paths for the Mate Agent might not be automatically added to the system’s environment variables. If they are not added, follow these steps to do so manually:
Adding Log On Credentials to MAGateway Service
To activate the use of the Desktop Actions library, the MAGateway service requires an administrator user with Task Scheduler authority. If the default admin user lacks this authority, follow these steps:
Open Services
Press Windows + R, type services.msc, and click OK.
Locate and Configure MAGateway
Find MAGateway in the list of services, right-click it, and select "Properties".
Log On Configuration
In the Log On tab, enter the credentials for the admin user.
Click "Apply" and then "OK".
We strongly recommend performing the installation of both the Autom Center and Mate Agent on a fresh server to avoid potential conflicts with existing software and ensure optimal performance.
Port Policy for Communication
The port policy for Autom Mate ensures secure and efficient communication between the Mate Agent, Autom Mate Cloud, and other system components. Adhering to this policy is critical for the smooth operation of the system.
Agent Server Port Configuration
Below is a list of ports used for communication and various services:
Note
Outbound traffic is restricted on the server hosting the Mate Agent, except for ports 443, and 5051.
Importance of Port Policy
Implementing a well-defined port policy is essential for maintaining the security and efficiency of the Autom Mate system. By configuring the necessary ports for inbound and outbound traffic, you enable seamless communication between the Mate Agent, Autom Mate Cloud, and other system components, thereby enhancing the overall performance and security of the system.
