\noindent You can use \url{https://installercreator.urbackup.org} to create a custom installer for your server that creates a client on the server,
then downloads the client installer from the server and finally installs it. There are multiple options to allow e.g. silent installation, installation without tray
icon, etc.
Alternatively adapt the script at \url{https://urbackup.atlassian.net/wiki/display/US/Download+custom+client+installer+via+Python} to your server URL and settings

\noindent If the client is only reachable via Internet/through NAT:
\begin{itemize}
\item Add a new Internet client on the status page.
\item Download the client installer for the Internet client and send it to the new client. Alternatively, create a user for the new client (in the settings) and send the user the username/password. The user can then download the client installer from the server on the status page and install it.
\item Select the backup paths you want to backup on the client via command line (``urbackupclientctl add-backupdir --path /'' or configure appropriate default directories to backup on the server (see section \ref{subsub_default_dirs}).
\item Add a new Internet client on the status page (selecting the client behind NAT option).
\item Follow the instructs for Linux on the page after the client was added. Alternatively download the
client installer for the Internet client and send it to the new client. Another alternative is to create
a user for the new client (in the settings) and send the user the username/password. The user can then
download the client installer from the server on the status page and install it.
\item Select the backup paths you want to backup on the client via command line
(``urbackupclientctl add-backupdir --path /'' or configure appropriate default directories
to backup on the server (see section \ref{subsub_default_dirs}).
\item The server will automatically start backups once the client is connected.
