# Running Minio as a service on Windows
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Install Minio service
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Download and install the [Windows Server 2003 Resource Kit Tools](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=17657). It
|
||||||
|
is old, but still works on recent Windows versions. On the latest Windows versions you'll get a warning message, but you can run
|
||||||
|
it anyhow by clicking on "Run the program without getting help".
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Start cmd.exe and install the Minio service:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
sc create Minio binPath="C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Resource Kits\Tools\srvany.exe" DisplayName="Minio Cloudstorage"
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Now we need to configure srvany using regedit. Start regedit and go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Minio and
|
||||||
|
create a new key called Parameters.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|

|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Within the new key create a new String value called Application and enter the path of your Minio binary. (eg. C:\Minio\bin\minio.exe) And create
|
||||||
|
another String value called AppParameters with value `server c:\data` where c:\data will be the location of the data folder.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
When you start services, look for the Minio service and start and stop (or make it automatically start at reboots) the service.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|

|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
It is a good (and secure) practice to create a new user, assign rights to the data folder to this user and change the service Log On info to use the newly created user.

||||||

|
|
||||||
|
## Delete Minio service
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If you want to remove the Minio service, just enter the following command from the command line.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
sc delete Minio
|
||||||
|
```
