deployment, patch management, hardware and software inventory, and mobile device management — backed
by a full scripting and SDK surface for automation.

This is the documentation for **CapaInstaller 6.7**. See the [Changelog](/capainstaller/changelog/)

**[Installation and Maintenance](/capainstaller/installation-and-maintenance/)** — software
requirements, how to install, how to update, agent deployment, and getting started with device
management.

## Key capabilities

- **Software deployment** — package applications once and distribute them to endpoints and groups,
  with a self-service Software Catalog for end users.
- **OS Deployment** — image and provision machines over the network, with peering to resolve images
  and drivers from local caches and peers before the server.
- **Patch Management** — keep Windows and third-party software up to date.
- **Mobile Device Management** — manage Apple and Android devices alongside Windows endpoints.
- **Inventory** — collect hardware and software inventory across the estate.
- **Automation** — script and extend everything through PowerPacks, the scripting libraries, and the SDK.
