Windows
Windows releases are available as MSI installers and gzipped tarballs
(.tar.gz). The MSI installs the Collector as a Windows service named after the
distribution, with the display name “OpenTelemetry Collector”, and registers an
Application Event Log source with the distribution name.
MSI installation
msiexec /i "https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-collector-releases/releases/download/v0.128.0/otelcol_0.128.0_windows_x64.msi"
Manual installation
Invoke-WebRequest -Uri "https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-collector-releases/releases/download/v0.128.0/otelcol_0.128.0_windows_amd64.tar.gz" -OutFile "otelcol_0.128.0_windows_amd64.tar.gz"
tar -xvzf otelcol_0.128.0_windows_amd64.tar.gz
Every release includes the Collector executable that you can run after installation.
