Team City - agent installation issue

What does it mean to have a TeamCity build agent installed on a different machine than the build server? As far as I understand, I need to "install TeamCity server" in order to start "agent installation"? Now I have a TeamCity build server installed using webUI and all this on a machine with a Windows server. Now, what do I need to do, install the agent on another machine (another server?)

The teamcity documentation is really good. See the Installing Agents section .

You can have the build agent on the same computer as the server, or install the agents on other machines. I would use a different machine for the agent if you have multiple agents or a really heavy agent workload.

On the machine, you want to install the agent to open a web browser and point it to the team’s website. Go to the agents tab. There should be a link in the upper right corner called "install build agents". Click it and select the appropriate installation method.

@ZVenue: I have configured TeamCity: 1 TC Server (windows) and build agents on 3 Unix boxes (separate types of assemblies are performed). This gives me the central assembly console for all actions.

Hope this helps!
