# Step 5: Install the helmut.cloud Agent

This is no cold war thriller - the helmut.cloud Agent is the piece of software that will execute your workflows for you. 

Click on your avatar icon in the upper right corner and select "Download Agent". Choose an installer that will work with your operating system. 

Now connect the Agent to helmut.cloud. The easiest way is to use your own account for testing. Make sure that you [enabled your account as a target](/organizations/view-my-organizations/being-a-target.md) for the organization used.

Right-click the H-icon and choose "*Configure Agent*". A website opens in your browser. By default, no connection is established. To add one, click on "*Add connection*" and log in with your account to have access to the workflows in your organization.

You are now ready to run your first workflow on your workstation.
