Install and configure ADT

Everything needed to get from a clean computer to an agent that can reach a FileMaker file. This chapter is a complete setup path — no tutorial required.

The installer handles the normal setup automatically. Manual agent configuration is only for unsupported coding agents or an installation that could not register its plugin. Credentials and file authorization remain separate so you control which accounts and open files an agent can use.
