You can deploy using a number of methods, some are covered in [Client](https://github.com/dinger1986/doc.rustdesk.com/blob/docs-reworking/content/client/_index.en.md#configuring-rustdesk)

Alternatively you can use mass deployment scripts.

### Powershell

write-output "RustDesk $rdver is the newest version"

exit
}

If (!(Test-Path c:\Temp)) {
  New-Item -ItemType Directory -Force -Path c:\Temp > null
}

cd c:\Temp

powershell Invoke-WebRequest "https://github.com/rustdesk/rustdesk/releases/download/1.2.1/rustdesk-1.2.1-x86_64.exe" -Outfile "rustdesk.exe"
