Venn Installation Guide

This guide outlines the steps for installing Venn on a Windows computer to access your secure work environment.

🔹 Prerequisites

Before you begin, ensure you have:

• ✅ Google Chrome (installed locally — not inside Venn)

• ✅ Your Venn login credentials

⚙️ Step 1: Install Required Local Applications

Install the following outside the Venn environment:

• Google Drive for Desktop
   ▪️ Do not move or share local files via Google Drive.

• Google Chat (Standalone App)

🔄 After installation, make sure to relaunch all apps and Chrome before continuing.

🌐 Step 2: Access the Venn Portal

1. Open your local Chrome browser.

2. Go to 👉 https://pdr.venn.com

3. Sign in with your Venn credentials.

📥 Step 3: Download the Venn Local Client

• After logging in, you’ll be prompted to download the Venn Local Client.

• Click Accept — the installer will run automatically.

🧭 Step 4: Launch Workplace Enclave

• Once installation is complete, Venn will automatically launch into the Workplace Enclave — your secure workspace.

• This is where you’ll access your assigned applications.

🧪 Step 5: Diagnostics Test

When Venn starts, some apps may appear grayed out.

• Venn is performing a diagnostics check on your system.

• This usually takes 30 seconds to 2 minutes.

• You won’t be able to launch apps during this time.

✅ Step 6: Final Setup

1. Launch Google Chrome inside the Enclave.

2. Sign in to your Chrome profile and sync your data using your Gmail credentials.

3. Once Chrome is ready, proceed to launch your other workflow applications.

🎉 You’re All Set!

Venn is now fully installed on your Windows device. If you encounter any issues during setup, please submit a ticket to IT Support.
