| # Register as a Windows Service
 | |
| 
 | |
| To register Gitea as a Windows service, open a command prompt (cmd) as an Administrator,
 | |
| then run the following command:
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```
 | |
| sc create gitea start= auto binPath= ""C:\gitea\gitea.exe" web --config "C:\gitea\custom\conf\app.ini""
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| Do not forget to replace `C:\gitea` with the correct Gitea directory.
 | |
| 
 | |
| Open "Windows Services", search for the service named "gitea", right-click it and click on
 | |
| "Run". If everything is OK Gitea will be reachable on `http://localhost:3000` (or the port
 | |
| that was configured).
 | |
| 
 | |
| ## Unregister as a service
 | |
| 
 | |
| To unregister Gitea as a service, open a command prompt (cmd) as an Administrator and run:
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```
 | |
| sc delete gitea
 | |
| ```
