# Robot Monitoring Tool

The Robot Monitoring Tool (RMT) lets you update your Robotiq.ai robot from a distance. This means you don't have to go into the Virtual Machine (VM) itself to do updates.

## What You'll Need

-   The admin username and password you got when the robot was installed.

## How to Install the Robot Monitoring Tool

### Step 1: Download the RMT Installer

1.  Log in to your Robotiq.ai account.
2.  Go to **Settings**.
3.  Select **Robot**.
4.  Click the **Download RMT** button.
5.  Follow the instructions on your screen to download the `RobotiqMonitoringToolSetup.msi` file.

**Tip:** Use the Chrome browser for `.msi` file downloads. If you have trouble opening the `.msi` file from your browser's recent downloads, look for it in your Windows user downloads folder. This is usually at `C:\Users\{Username}\Downloads\`.

### Step 2: Run the Installation Wizard

1.  Double-click the `RobotiqMonitoringToolSetup.msi` file to open the installation wizard.
2.  Click **Next**.
3.  Read and agree to the terms in the **End-User License Agreement**.
4.  Click **Next**.
5.  Pick where you want to install the program.
6.  Click **Next**.
7.  In the next window, click **Install**.
8.  Click **Finish** when the installation is done.

### Step 3: Restart the VM
