# Install Site Admin as a Windows Service

To run Site Admin as a Windows service, you must download a copy of the Windows service wrapper from https://github.com/winsw/winsw/releases, and change the name of the `winsw.exe` executable file to `siteadmin.exe`.

Ensure that the Site Admin home directory and port are correctly configured in the `siteadmin.xml` configuration file. You must also ensure that `siteadmin.exe`, `siteadmin.xml`, and `siteadmin.jar` are all in the same directory.

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

`siteadmin.exe install`

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

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

For more information, see https://github.com/winsw/winsw/releases.

To continue the installation, follow the steps in Configure Site Admin.
