# Install Find as a Windows Service

To run Find as a Windows service, you must download a copy of the Windows service wrapper from https://github.com/microfocus-idol/winsw, and change the name of the `winsw.exe` executable file to `find.exe`.

Ensure that the Find home directory and port are correctly configured in the `find.xml` configuration file. You must also ensure that `find.exe`, `find.xml`, and `find.war` are all in the same directory.

Run the following command from the Windows command line to install Find as a service:

`find.exe install`

NOTE: You can also use the following commands with `find.exe`:

- `uninstall`
- `start`
- `stop`
- `status`
