Following the many messages that I can see on the forum regarding the installation of the FusionInventory agent, I will explain how I have been proceeding for several years.
In this article, I will explain how to install the FusionInventory agent using a script that runs when the computer starts up.
It is possible to install the agent with a user-level login script if the user is an administrator of his workstation because the script is executed in the context of the user, so he needs them. rights to install software.
Steps to Install the FusionInventory Agent

Download the FusionInventory agent (s) on the Github repository and place it (s) on the GLPI web server so that it is accessible on the web. It is also possible to configure the agent url directly on the Github repository, which often involves a rule in the company’s firewall, because the station is not authenticated when it goes to the Internet.
