Jenkins agent node setup

I have setup a Jenkins controller and I want to add an agent node in the same network. Do I need to install Jenkins on the agent machine? Or can I use any arbitrary machine without having to install Jenkins on it first?

No need to install jenkins on slave machine , you just ned to download slave.jar in your slave machine and you can connnect slave using TCP port for JNLP agents .

No, you don't need to install Jenkins in any slave machine at all.

You will need, if it is a Linux slave, just SSH access enabled. If it is a Windows machine, then Java and connect with the jar provided by Jenkins or through Java Web client.

On Linux and for Java, Jenkins will download anything he needs.
