Downloading the Desktop Agent

To open the Desktop agent, do the following:

  1. From the Merkato portal, select Desktop from the user interface menu and click select.

The Desktop window appears.

  1. From the File pull-down menu, select Download Agent. The Agent Download login box appears.

  1. By default, the user name and password you used to enter the Merkato portal populates the Agent Download login box. Change this if necessary to make sure you download the correct agent.
  2. Select a garage from the pull-down menu. Make sure the garage you select is the one you want to bid in.

Note: Do not close the Portal browser window when the Merkato Desktop is open. You may browse to other web pages, but you must leave the browser window open for the Merkato Desktop to continue operating properly.

When the agent finishes downloading it appears on the Merkato desktop.
