# Deploy the EDR

## Basic rules for deployment

Here are the key points to keep in mind for a smooth and trouble-free deployment of Stoïk MDR:

1. **No restart required**. Neither your servers nor user workstations need to be restarted. EDR deployment is simple and requires no service interruption.
2. **Uninstall any existing antivirus software before deployment**. To avoid conflicts between EDR and any existing antivirus software, we recommend uninstalling any antivirus or similar solutions before installation.
3. **Immediate internet connection not required.** Endpoints can be installed offline, but will need to connect to the internet later to fully activate the EDR.
   * If deploying via MDM or GPO, add `ProvNoWait=1` to the install command: `WindowsSensor.exe /install /quiet /norestart CID=<customer_ID> ProvNoWait=1`

### Two ways to deploy

You can deploy Stoïk MDR (EDR) in two ways:

1. **From the Stoïk Protect app (recommended).** Available environments depend on the provider:

   * CrowdStrike: Windows, macOS, Linux, ChromeOS, Virtual environments, and Mobile
   * SentinelOne: Windows, macOS, Linux\
     \
     On the screenshot below you can see the view if your provider is CrowdStrike :

2. **From the Helpcenter documentation.** Follow the guide for your EDR and operating system:

* CrowdStrike: [How to deploy CrowdStrike EDR on Windows](/stoik-mdr/deploy/crowdstrike/operating-systems/windows.md), [on Mac](/stoik-mdr/deploy/crowdstrike/operating-systems/macos.md), [on Linux](/stoik-mdr/deploy/crowdstrike/operating-systems/linux.md), [on ChromeOS](/stoik-mdr/deploy/crowdstrike/operating-systems/chromeos.md), [in virtual environments](/stoik-mdr/deploy/crowdstrike/operating-systems/virtual-environments.md), or [on mobile devices](/stoik-mdr/deploy/crowdstrike/add-on-modules/mobile-devices.md)
* SentinelOne: [How to deploy SentinelOne EDR on Windows](/stoik-mdr/deploy/sentinelone/operating-systems/windows.md), [on Mac](/stoik-mdr/deploy/sentinelone/operating-systems/macos.md), or [on Linux](/stoik-mdr/deploy/sentinelone/operating-systems/linux.md)
* Microsoft Defender: Check the [Microsoft Defender documentation](/stoik-mdr/deploy/microsoft-defender.md).

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.stoik.io/stoik-mdr/deploy.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
