Windows Manual Deployment

Windows Manual Deployment

This guide explains how to manually install Lumia on Windows machines to enable inspection and governance of AI traffic on the endpoint.
Use the Lumia Windows installer (MSI file) to deploy the Lumia configuration to the endpoints you want to monitor. The installer is available for download via the dedicated link provided by Lumia.
Before running the installation file, consider the following:
Permissions
Administrator privileges are required to perform the installation. Lumia will be installed for all users who log in to the machine, including non-admin users.
Setting the Endpoint’s Email / Identity
Lumia registers each endpoint to identify which user is associated with it. This identity is used for reporting and to enable direct communication in case of policy violations (e.g., via email or Slack).
  • Automatic Setting: For Active Directory or domain-joined computers, the installer registers the endpoint using the User’s Principal Name (UPN), if available. If the UPN cannot be retrieved, it falls back to the Username@HostName convention.
    (Note: If the UPN does not match the user's actual email address, direct notifications may not work).
  • Manual Setting: To use a specific email, run the installer from the command line using the following argument:
    • msiexec /i "C:\path\to\Lumia.msi" email="user@domain.com"
    Note: Replace "C:\path\to\Lumia.msi" with the full path to the file you downloaded, and "user@domain.com" with the actual user's email address.

Installation Steps

  1. Download the installer from your dedicated link.
  2. Run the Lumia.msi file (either by double-clicking or via the command line option mentioned above).
  3. Follow the instructions in the installation wizard.
  4. Restart any AI-related applications that were open during the installation (e.g., Web Browsers, Desktop AI apps like ChatGPT or Cursor, or CLI tools). This ensures the new network configuration (PAC) is active, as some applications load proxy definitions only on startup.
  5. Return to our Getting Started guide and proceed to Step 1.2: Verify Integration. Follow the instructions there to confirm that the endpoint is successfully forwarding AI interactions and that logs are appearing in your Lumia Portal.

Uninstallation

To stop Lumia from monitoring the endpoint, uninstall Lumia Security via Installed apps (in Windows Settings) or Programs and Features (in the Control Panel).
Administrator privileges are required.
