    There will be a download link to download the installer packages.
    If prompted, sign in using your AD credentials (not necessarily the same as your UCInetID credentials) and complete the Duo prompt. Usually, the username is the same as your UCInetID plus "@ad.uci.edu". If you forgot your password, reset your password using your UCInetID credentials.
