## Summary
The GLPI Agent is a generic management agent. It can perform a
certain number of tasks, according to its own execution plan, or on behalf of a
GLPI server acting as a control point.
## Description
This agent is based on a fork of [FusionInventory agent](https://github.com/fusioninventory/fusioninventory-agent) and so works mainly like FusionInventory agent.
It introduces new features and a new protocol to communicate directly with a GLPI server and its native inventory feature. Anyway it also keeps the compatibility with [FusionInventory for GLPI plugin](https://github.com/fusioninventory/fusioninventory-for-glpi).
## Download
* Release: See [our github releases](https://github.com/glpi-project/glpi-agent/releases) for official win32, MacOSX & linux packages.
